"No, it’s anti-Catholic, and anti-Christ too. "

To make that assertion against the previous poster is analogous to make that assertion against the Founders.

Many of the Founders were Christian, some were Deists.

None were Catholic or members of the The Church of England (Anglican).

Manhy Americans are ignorant of their own history so it doesn’t surprise me you would make that common mistake. Now, look up Charles Carroll (who I believe was the longest living survivor of the Declaration of Independence).
Also, how many Catholics would you expect in English colonies that often persecuted them?

Mariner: None were Catholic or members of the The Church of England (Anglican).

sorry, but your statement is very, very wrong, from wikipedia (but you can check elsewhere):

Lambert (2003) has examined the religious affiliations and beliefs of the Founders. Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 49 were Protestants, and three were Roman Catholics (C. Carroll, D. Carroll, and Fitzsimons).

Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 28 were Church of England eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists.
