The Revolution was about a government of the People by the People. You have to be mind numbing mindless in finding religion the cause in reading the Constitution.

Did they dress up as clerics in the Boston Tea Party?

The Constitution, sir, had nothing to do with the American Revolution, except as a byproduct, an effort to put into practical terms the natural and fundamentally “religious” statements of our true founding document, The Declaration of Independence, after that independence was won through battle.

I believe the Declaration to be a profoundly “religious” statement in it’s opening paragraphs, although with a decidedly “Enlightenment” view of religious issues, not a denominational one. The rest of the Declaration is, as is aptly said elsewhere on this thread, the more proximate, practical cataloguing of crap, up with which the Colonists were no longer able to put, and over which about 3% ultimately went to war, with the backing of about a third of the population.

Well said. This whole thing is nothing but a bunch of crapola aimed at demeaning the American Revolution and religion all in one easy swipe. I'll not be joining this movement.
