Keep in mind many of the founding fathers were Deists, not Christians.

Bullshit....what all three of them?

BTW, being a Deist does not exclude the belief in Christ, unless you are following the DUmmie interpretations of it.....and I don't think you are.

de·ism [dee-iz-uhm]

–noun 1. belief in the existence of a god on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelation ( distinguished from theism).

2. belief in a God who created the world but has since remained indifferent to it. _____________________________________________________ Both definitions exclude Christianity since it is based on the supernatural and that God intervenes. How many were Deists I don't know but certainly Jefferson was, otherwise he would have not been so bold as to redact the Bible to remove the supernatural. Do a search on "Jefferson Bible." Also do a search on Founding Fathers Deism and you will find that Franklin, Paine, Adams, and Washington are also included. If you find out differently let me know.

George
Washington was a Mason and so were many of the generals of both the American and British sides which caused quite a bit of pain cause they beleived more in the lodge than the countries they were fighting for.
