This is a country founded on Judeo-Christain principles.
This is a country founded out of the Enlightenment, by Frreemasons and Secular Humanists who used Christianity just as Carl Marx, who was never original, later realized as a means of keeping the common people in their place. We did not have universal sufferage, and Christianity was never taken seriously by the upper class property owners that had the vote, except for a minority of New Englanders.

Hmmmm, Patrick Henry, George Washington, James Madison and even (probable Deist) Benjamin Franklin all seemed to take religion very seriously, giving it (at least) the utmost respect--all major founding fathers and none from New England. Jefferson's career was at risk when simply accused of being Deist (he wasn't....more accurately TJ can be called a proto-Unitarian) a charge he denied, by the way...

Of more than 50 elite founders, Jefferson and Franklin were the only ones close to being Deist...the rest, for the most part were regular church goers, many mentioning God (or "Providence") many times in their personal correspondance. The normal language of Jefferson and Washington, sound like that of someone deep within the "religious right" of today--which is why its so strange people, perhaps like yourself, are so distrustful and afraid of religious Christians today.

No one had ANY "sufferage" before the USA came along--as we were the first democractic republic since ancient Greece. The fact that it took a while for "universal sufferage" to be fully realized, doesn't tarnish the vision and ideals of our founders one iota...

You sound like you had too much of a dose of those unoriginal Marxist assumptions in your own education, in order to inaccurately portray the founders like that....

I always found it fascinating that the Father of the "Wall of Separation of Church and State" took a pair o scissors and cut out of his bible any references to the Deity of Christ.

The Smithsonian has that bible.

A lot of our presidents were Freemasons, however. That's a true statement. George Washington certainly was, even though he was a devout Christian.
