the America of the Founding generation is firmly grounded in the Genesis account of creation, Old and New Testament morality and Christian theism, yet the original meaning and intent of U.S. law — as now controlled and defined by anti-God naturalism — has been radically changed so that it now reflects the doctrinal decrees of imperialist atheist evolutionary naturalism.

I'm going to say something that's going to be misunderstood by everyone.

Everyone on this forum knows (or should know) that I am a militant Young Earth Creationist and Genesis literalist, and I'm all for dissecting Darwinism. But what do the Founding Fathers have to do with this? Truth is truth, and it doesn't have to be filtered through America's Founding Fathers any more than it has to be filtered through the founders of Saudi Arabia or of Sri Lanka. We don't need James Madison's permission to believe in G-d.

Folks, G-d is G-d. Let's stop filtering Him through nations and civilizations and just embrace universal, objective Truth on His authority. Ultimately, the religious beliefs of the American Founders aren't important.

Considering this is posted as a News and Activism article on a website dedicated to conservative political activism, I'd have to ask with it is you're trying to conserve if you think it's appropriate to present it in that context and then declare anything they might have had to say on the subject irrelevant.

” But what do the Founding Fathers have to do with this?”

Observe that the author spoke of the “founding generation,” the population at large rather than the much smaller group, the Founding Fathers, of whom some were deists, others nominal Christians, and yet others faithful Christians.
