And yet our Founders wrote what's in post 4. Btw, the site it is located at is the Library of Congress. And Jefferson didn't build this country alone.

Religion and the Congress of the Confederation, 1774-89

The Continental-Confederation Congress, a legislative body that governed the United States from 1774 to 1789, contained an extraordinary number of deeply religious men. The amount of energy that Congress invested in encouraging the practice of religion in the new nation exceeded that expended by any subsequent American national government. Although the Articles of Confederation did not officially authorize Congress to concern itself with religion, the citizenry did not object to such activities. This lack of objection suggests that both the legislators and the public considered it appropriate for the national government to promote a nondenominational, nonpolemical Christianity.

Congress appointed chaplains for itself and the armed forces, sponsored the publication of a Bible, imposed Christian morality on the armed forces, and granted public lands to promote Christianity among the Indians.

Gotta go. Have things to do.

>>imposed Christian morality on the armed forces,

Just like the “church” of England?

No Sale.

From your FR homepage:

"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." - Thomas Jefferson

 

 

Jefferson swore upon the alter of God eternal hostility to EVERY form of tyranny over the mind of man.

 

 

EVERY form - especially the religionIST kind of tyranny that imposes dogmatic compliance via government coercion - instead of allowing mutual recognition of self-evident Truth by FREE men.

 

Look North, 2 miles...

 

 

Got Morals and Dogma?
