I beg your pardon.
Here’s the earliest page on FR that I could find using the waybackmachine: https://web.archive.org/web/19961221165158/http://freerepublic.com/
Notice that one of my very first posts to FR is entitled, “Democracy in the Bible and History.” Unfortunately, the article has not survived, but the evidence of the importance of God and the bible to our founding and our Republic is right there on one of our first front pages.
Wow! That is way back when.
