Amen! Whenever I hear people refer to us as a “Christian Nation” (rather than a secular nation with a declining Christian majority), I always ask them what they think of the fact that a NON-CHRISTIAN wrote our Declaration of Independence!

Jefferson was not a non-Christian (these are huge falsehoods), and neither were the men such as Adams and Franklin who helped tweak it, nor the other men on the committee Livingston and Sherman.

Not likely. You do know there’s a Theist wing of Christianity. If you mean Jefferson, he simply wanted to rewrite the New Testament to match his own beliefs ~ that doesn’t make you a non-Christian, just a redactor.

Well I for one always say the evidence is quite overwhelming.
