Interestingly, Alexander Hamilton probably had more of a Jewish upbringing than Disreali. He was tutored in a private Jewish school in St. Kitts. He had to go to the Jewish school because the Church schools didn’t accept him due to his unmarried parents.

“Alexander Hamilton probably had more of a Jewish upbringing than Disreali”

Thank you for this. I was not aware of it before. I will do a bit of “looking up”. Of late, there has been a recurrent thread with the position that the founders were a purely “Christian” state (mostly aimed at hammering Muslims I’m afraid).

It was always my impression that our founding was far more ecumenical than some of us evangelicals would like to believe. Your information gives me an excuse to do some overdue research on the subject.
