There are many sites where this has been copied but here is one that seems a good candidate for your c&p job...

Now, on to the claims.
At the back entrance to the supreme court building are three statue of eastern law givers, Solon, Moses, and Confucius. All three are facing forward.
Tablets carved into the doors of the Supreme Court courtroom are generally believed to represent the Bill of Rights.

I would like documentation of the Madison and Henry quotes. I can find nothing.
The chaplaincy of the US Senate was established in 1789.
Constitutional framers religious backgrounds...
Congregationalist-7

Episcopalian-26
Lutheran-1

Roman Catholic-2
Evidences of faith and religion in buildings and monuments in the U.S.Capitol-Truth!, Fiction, & Unproven! - Truth or Fiction?
Actually I addressed this issue in depth when I first started posting here and do not feel like digging out the documentation yet again. Maybe later this week.
