True. But nonetheless, their personal religious convictions, and depth of faith, have been the subject of some discussion. Jefferson, for example, was a Deist.

Still, they did not deign to write a Constitution or Declaration of Independance which endorsed any specific faith, and in fact wrote the First Amendment to the Bill Of Rights in such a way as to proscribe a government-sponsored "official" religion.

Nowhere in either document is the name "Jesus" mentioned, nor is "Christianity". The Constitution, the only one of the two documents with the force of law, has no religious mentions whatsoever, and the Declaration mentions a "Creator" but once, and not in any specific setting.

Great post LC. Amazing how some folks who are constantly harping on the Constitution want to conveniently forget what's in it at times...or in buchanan's and his disciples cases, what's not.
