Could a Non-Theist run a world Government with all virtue intact?Can general society be the salvation of earth?

The Lord wishes to show this people that He is close by, that He walks in our midst daily, and we know but little about him; yet He intends to train us until we find out.

I do not know that any person can cavil upon that question any more, and say that it is all in accordance with natural philosophy, as the world term it.
