“(cough)Thomas Paine.”


And I’m sure there were more unbelievers than Thomas Paine. But their number is so few that my general statement is not a false one.

There was also Thomas Jefferson and John Adams (many of the more prominent Founding Fathers were Unitarians and Deists). Given the caveat that your statement was a generalization it's certainly valid.
