" while John Adams was the most overtly pious"

I believe Witherspoon would strongly disagree with that...

Also...did y'all know that Ben Franklin proposed once in a letter to the evangelist George Whitefield that they start a colony in Ohio in order to evangelize it and train up the "savages" there to become members of Christian civilization?

Thus...we se yet again what the author of this piece is getting at: even the least religious of the founders were more evangelical than our most religious today.

Yeah, even Franklin and Jefferson agreed with a Continental Congress plan to import 2000 Bibles at GOVERNMENT expense.

Lessee, what was that about church and state?
