Most of the Founding Fathers were Deists.
Define "most" please. As in a majority?
Makes my head spin with conspiracy and secret societies.
Jefferson was actually a gnostic Christian- he viewed Jesus as a philosopher. You might call his a Deist, though. And Franklin was a Christian.
If our founding fathers were deists, they weren't very strong ones. They attended church services, granted permission for gov't buildings to be used as churches, read the Bible, prayed, believed in heaven and hell, and much of their writing indicates they believed God does have a somewhat active role in worldy affairs. These are all things that are contrary to deist beliefs.
utter nonsense promoted by modern day atheists.
BTW: The people most responsible for thr Bill of Rights being included in the US Constitution were the Baptists and men like Baptist preacher John Leland who forced James Madison to commit to the BoR and Patrick Henry and Jefferson were both sympathetic to the cause of the Baptists and their quest for religious liberty and freedom from State religion.
ANd most modern Americans who spout that crap don't understand Deism -and do not know American History.
That simply isn't true, of the founding fathers that signed the declaration only a handful were possibly deists. That is bad history they teach in our public schools. The "common man" that went to war for our freedoms were God fearing men, Christians.
"Some" not "many"
No, most were Christians.
Two percent of the the 100 founding fathers were Deists..
(for the cypher impaired)->> like two(2) II, dos ..
