I don’t think you can compare religion and politics.
Faith involves very different ways of ‘knowing’ and getting at truth, than just logic, reason and philosophy.
Are you serious? Politics is just logic, reason and philosophy, and does not involve very different ways of ‘knowing.’
Is Christian faith no based upon a degree of evidential warrant, or blind confidence? What evidence provided warrant for the beliefs of America's founders, and how is that separate from religion?
What was the implicit moral authority of the moral values of the Founders overall.
Why was religion deemed to be necessary, and what general faith was their reference?
Where you think even enlightenment values flowed from that are reflected in the thinking of the Founders, and where did their precepts and principals flow from?
Like what?
