The Warren Court was not known for being friendly to religious recognition by government. However, Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren made the following observation when he was Governor of California:
"I believe no one can read the history of our country without realizing that the Good Book and the spirit of the Saviour have from the beginning been our guiding geniuses... Whether we look to the First Charter of Virginia... or to the Charter of New England... or to the Charter of Massachusetts Bay... the same objective is present; a Christian land governed by Christian perspectives."
(From Time magazine, February 15, 1954, p. 49)
