Maybe you should have kept reading. :) Incidentally, both Thomas Jefferson (who inspired the First Amendment and first coined the phrase "separation of church and state" when explaining its establishment clause) and John Madison (who actually drafted the First Amendment) were both Deists. So was George Washington, who presided over the Constitutional Convention.
George Washington was a Christian. His own personal writings and an affirmation by his own family strongly rebut this lie.
I'm very tired of the re-writing of American history to support the lies of the godless.
Washington was a Christian. A true believer. His writings make this abundantly clear.
Like I stated earlier, some founders were Deists. Most were not.
Regarding religion, the First Amendment was intended to accomplish three purposes. First, it was intended to prevent the establishment of a national church or religion, or the giving of any religious sect or denomination a preferred status. Second, it was designed to safeguard the right of freedom of conscience in religious beliefs against invasion solely by the national Government. Third, it was so constructed in order to allow the States, unimpeded, to deal with religious establishments and aid to religious institutions as they saw fit.
Jefferson was a deist - perhaps even an unbeliever - but he attended church regularly purely for the example he believed it set. My guess is that he would not have looked kindly on an attempt to remove the Ten Commandments from a courthouse. Just so you know where I'm coming from: I say this as somebody sympathetic to Judge Roy Moore's cause while generally unsympathetic to the man himself.
