Regardless of whatever evidence is presented here or anywhere else, the "All Our Founders Were Deists" crowd will ignore it all.

Very true... from my understanding, only Franklin and Jefferson described themselves as Deists, and in Franklin's case at least, it still rung of Christian overtones, just a rejection of popular Churchanity.

Same crowd that claims freemasons are "Deists" (being that basically all the founders, save Jefferson, were freemasons).

Freemasons are taught to pray (to the God of Abraham, in the name of the Lion of Judah, to the honor of John the Baptist and John the Apostle) before embarking on any undertaking, great or small (which is similarly incompatible with being a Deist).

But, hey, believers in blood liable are idiots.

Let that crowd ignore the truth up to the gates of hell. Who cares?
