I think Ben was a seeker and found a lot of discrepancy in the version being preached in those day to control the flock!

I also feel in Ben own way he believed in God and continued to understand in his mind his relationship with the Creator

You're right on. I don't think many in those days or today had a better relationship with God than Ben Franklin! It's hard to put a label on a guy like that. Christian or Deist, he was truly one of the greatest men in history...IMHO
