Quote from Free Thinker:
bible thumpers like to claim that the founding fathers wanted a christian nation. how can we go back in time to find out the truth? we can ask religious leaders living at that time what they thought. in their own words they criticitized what the founding fathers did as anti christian:

The founding fathers didnt want the government to tell the people how they could practice their religion, but it ended up happening anyway. They never intended for the united states to be an athiest nation because if we are not a Christian nation, then we are atheist by default.
You are not a free thinker. You are brainwashed by the atheists. In fact Christians are more free thinkers than you are. You wont believe all the historical documentation that is everywhere that this nation was founded on christian beliefs, but you will run straight to darwin and believe that we all evolved from monkeys. You dont ask for a time machine to see if thats true. The fact is...you will only believe something if the theory doesnt have God in it. Look how fast you ran to some secular book that is ranked #433,000 (that means they sell about 1 book per week) You believe that book just because it goes with what you want to believe, not by what the truth is. That surely isnt free thinking.
In fact...maybe you should've read some of the reviews before putting that book up...heres one...

This review is from: The Godless Constitution: The Case Against Religious Correctness (Hardcover)
I admit the subject matter (the USA founded as a Christian nation) is polarizing, yet it even more difficult to be objective when the authors admit they have no footnotes, i.e. no documention for their opinions. In other words, it is open season to distort, twist or even make stuff up, and not have to worry about the truth of their statements. (If I'd have written a paper for my Comp 101 class with no footnotes, I'd get an 'F' or maybe even a zero). So, why no documentation? Is it because the authors feel they've reached a level where their enlightened, philosophical views are beyond question or are above the scrutiny of good journalism ...were they just lazy? Whatever. Even the title of the book has an oxy-moron which belies the credibility of their basic argument... a "moral" defense of the "secular" state... do you see it? If you do, then you most likely already know the book is a waste of time.. If you do not, then I strongly caution you to be wary of the con artists of the new milennium.
That review says it all. No footnotes, no documentation...just their opinion. You fell for their con, freethinker.
