Quote from sho-tim:
According to an article at
http://www.evangelicaloutpost.com/archives/003358.html
the founding fathers were overwhelmingly men that believed in God. Guess what? That's what I alluded to in my post. I didn't say anything about traditional Christians. You did.
From the article:
"While Christians can claim few founding fathers as fellow believers, the atheistic secularist can claim none. Not one of the significant leaders was an atheist, much less subscribed to the modern idea of secularism. Most appear to have been held to the classic âfive points of Deismâ:
1. There is a God.
2. He ought to be worshiped.
3. Virtue is the principle element in this worship.
4. Humans should repent of their sins.
5. There is life after death, where the evil will be punished and the good rewarded. "
I stand by the statement I made in the post. The facts back it up.
nice rebuttal
