It most definitely is a valid quote despite the incorrect bio. John Jay definitely was 1st Chief Justice. However, they slightly misquoted Mr Jay (on purpose?). It should read "Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as privilege and interest, of OUR Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers." (My emphasis--OUR, not A). I have seen this quote elsewhere and it is always OUR. Perhaps some bias crept in on the part of whoever publishes this website? You be the judge.
