You're utter UNAWARE of much and are doing your utmost to ruin this dead thread!

You are speaking from abject, mordant stupidity. If our Founders had all agreed on something, it would have been done; not to mention the fact that early on, most of those living here, from Europe, were PROTESTANTS and mainly from what is today the UK, Holland, and Germany.

Our founders WERE a small group of the ELITE. Even uncouth Andy Jackson was a general.

Only a few CRAZIES claim that most FFs were "DIEISTS". Go find them and argue with them.

I’m replying to you what you wrote to me.

You didn’t need to reply back if you didn’t want to.

“If our Founders had all agreed on something, it would have been done; not to mention the fact that early on, most of those living here, from Europe, were PROTESTANTS and mainly from what is today the UK, Holland, and Germany.”

So if our first Congress had decided to pick one of the denominations found in the colonies and impose it as the established religion, that simply would have been done? I think not. They would have had another rebellion on their hands. There wasn’t that level of acceptance of other denominations, even other Protestant ones.

“Our founders WERE a small group of the ELITE. Even uncouth Andy Jackson was a general.”

What about the individual contributions of all the colonial Americans who weren’t the leadership?
