What you see below is only an extract of an eight-page length list posted not too long ago citing presidents all the way to FDR. Since the 1960s, especially, the humanists have tried to re-write the history of the late 18th century to exclude the undeniable influence of biblicist (fundamentalist, if you will) Christianity on the founding and life of our nation and its leaders.

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible” —George Washington

“So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society...” —John Quincy Adams

“That book, sir, is the rock on which our republic rests” —Andrew Jackson

“I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong” —Abraham Lincoln

BTW, Abe Lincoln was not a member of any regular church ~ said so himself, but his parents were members of a Primitive Baptist congregation ~ that is, pretty much the same thing as Thompson.

Now, are you trying to tell me George Washington wasn't a "fundie"? Guy even paid rent on a box in a church in Alexandria!
