While this is probably correct about Jefferson, I doubt it is true of most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. I think to say "most of the founders were diests" is a pretty big exageration.

I am at work and haven't read the article as yet. But, I would agree, the majority of the Founders were Theists, deists. And there is ample evidence to substantiate that claim. David Barton at Wallbuilders certainly confirms that. As an example, a thorough study of the writings of the founders determined that people like Blackstone accounted for about 7-8% of the quotes each. However, biblical citations, not including those made by people otherwise quoted, accounted for 34% of the quotations. That is significant!

IIRC, all but 5 of the "founders" were Christian, and some historians reduce that down to only 3. Thomas Jefferson, the Sunday after his misunderstood/oft-quoted letter to the Danbury Baptists was in church, in sessions held in the US legislative chambers.
