Uh, okay, so what does Benjamin Rush's opinion have to do with this? I could cite a number of signers of the DoI who had very different things to say on the subject.

Also, what is the relationship between expressing belief in deities and affirming that given testimony in court is true? You implied such a relationship earlier but never expanded on it when I inquired.

Benjamin Rush was also called the "Father of Public Schools Under the Constituion". He wrote textbooks, formed curriculum plans, crafted educational policies, and helped establish universities and colleges.

And it was he who said,
"The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty"
