• Webster, descended on his mother's side from Pilgrim Governor, William Bradford of Plymouth Plantation, made important contributions to an American educational system which kept the nation on a Christian Constitutional course for many years. The famous "blue-backed Speller," his "Grammars," and "Reader," all contained Biblical and patriotic themes and Webster spearheaded the flood of educational volumes emphasizing Christian Constitutional values for more than a century.
• It is not surprising, therefore, that the 1828 American Dictionary should contain the greatest number of Biblical definitions given in any reference volume. Webster considered "education useless without the Bible" and while he cautioned against too extensive use of the Bible in schools as "tending to irreverence," he reiterated, "In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government, ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people..."

http://www.mcguffeyreaders.com/1828dictionary.htm also gives some examples of the difference between thy 1828 Noah Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language and the 1981 Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. This comparison opens your eyes to how far the culture has strayed away from the Bible. The definitions given in the 1981 version are ungodly in comparison. That same ungodliness is rampant throughout society, even in many of the churches. They have sought to re-define God in their own image, because they hate the righteousness that comes from God and set about to establish their own righteousness.
