Not really what I was asking about, unless your answer was that all the founding fathers were Christians and that they, and the people they served were more Christian than today.

"Fifty two men of the 55 who formed the Constitution were active Christians. Although many of them by today's church standards would be rejected because they were Deist."
"Which ones were not Christians and which ones would not have been allowed in our current Christian churches? You think that current America is more Christian than our founding fathers, and presumably the Americans that they served? "

Happy clappy “Yuz Jay-Sus luvs me” Churchianity is a product of the Second Great Awakening, and was largely a movement of the rural masses. The founding fathers were a combination of deists, congregationalists, and Episcopalians. All were suspicious of clerical influence on the government, and most had no love for Rome.

LOL. The founding fathers the ones who turned to Christ for salvation would be as Christian as The Pope or Billy Graham. or the missionary serving in China. Nothing makes one person more Christian than another. That judgment and decision can come only from GOD after we depart here when our deeds are judged and we receive reward or rebuke from GOD. GOD does not play favorites in that respect.
