According to this accounting, about one third of those who signed the Declaration, or the Constitution, or served as Generals in the Continental Army were Freemasons, including Washington himself.
Freemasonry's effect on men like Washington can be seen in my post above.
And the list of those today described as "deists/theists" includes nearly all the "top tier" of Founders -- Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton.
Both John Adams' (father & son) were Unitarians, the father deistically influenced.
Those are the Founders I am here to defend, and to request you treat their religious view with forbearance and respect.
You seem fixated on the Mason aspect. Perhaps you can share what high level Masons believe about God and Christianity?
I am here to ask that you treat such ideas with forbearance and respect.
***Well, such a thing is too much to ask from God Himself, clad in human flesh. Jesus called false teachers like you ‘sons of satan’ but you would ask FReepers for their forbearance and respect. You ask more of FReepers than God expected of Himself. You are properly labelled a God damned heretic.
