He sure hated Catholicism. But so do what, free will. Someone can be brilliant and good and stupid at the same time. Good on John Adams for all he did for our country.

You'll get no argument from me there. I've no problem with Adams in that regard, nor do I dismiss how important he was to cause of American independence.
But Adams, like Jefferson, Madison, Washington, and most (not all, but most) of the other Founding Fathers was a man of the Enlightenment. These men were assuredly not "devout Christians," as the writer of this article false asserted with respect to Adams. It causes one to question whether the writer of the article knows what a "Christian" is. If he does, and still writes such a thing, then shame on him.
I reject those who distort history to advance some other agenda. And with respect to the claim that the "Founders were really Christians," there are some who have made a cottage industry out of advancing that particular lie.
