I am most interested to learn Kevmo’s utter lack of respect for our Founders’ religious views.
***Based on my dealings with a heretic like you, I would have strong doubts that anything you say about their religious views would have any historical basis. It’s like debating with a flaming homosexual who insists that George Washington was gay. It’s an exercise in throwing pearls after heretical swine.

There's no evidence that George Washington was gay.
But there's lots of historical evidence on our Founders' religious beliefs.

For years it was even said our Founders weren't Christians.
That's not true, they certainly were Christians, but Christians influenced to more or less degrees by ideas from deism, from Unitarianism and from Freemasonry.

If we were to name the most traditional Christian amongst our Founders, it would be John Jay, George Washington's close friend, whom he appointed as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Second among the more traditional Christians would be George Washington himself, a leader in his Episcopal church.
But Washington was also a leader among Freemasons, and so must have shared some of their deistic ideas.

Amongst others -- i.e., Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison -- Freemasonry, deism and Unitarianism competed strongly with their basic Christianity as "core beliefs".

These are ideas that I've been attempting to defend here.

Your overwhelming contempt for these ideas strongly suggests equal contempt for our Founders, and that is a matter of some concern...
