American Was Founded by Christians

I'm uploading this as more proof American was founded by Christians. Our founding fathers didn't see anything wrong with acknowledging God in public or government either. A true study of American History proves this and I don't mean the newer revisionist history books. You have to dig for this information today.

George Washington, What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ. [speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779]

John Adams:
The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.
[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress

Samuel Huntington
Signer of the Declaration of Independence, president of Congress, judge and Governor of Connecticut - March 9, 1791
It becomes a people publicly to acknowledge the over-ruling hand of Divine Providence and their dependence upon the Supreme Being as their Creator and Merciful Preserver . . . and with becoming humility and sincere repentance to supplicate the pardon that we may obtain forgiveness through the merits and mediation of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Francis Hopkinson was a church music director and edited on of the first hymnals printed in America in 1767. He also put all 150 of the Psalms to music.

John Witherspoon born in 1722---He became an ordained minister of the Gospel, are his accomplishments include:
1. He published several books on Gospel sermons
2. He was involved in two American printings of the Bible
3. In regard to his view of salvation he said "I entreat you in the most earnest manner to believe in Jesus Christ for there is no salvation in any other."

Charles Carroll:When I signed the Declaration of Independence, I had in view not only our independence of England but the toleration of all Sects, professing the Christian Religion, and communicating to them all great rights,

Fail: Treaty of Tripoli, Federalist Papers, Jefferson Bible, etc. You also quote mined at least John Adams here. You did this in a very deceptive way by not putting ellipses in the passages you omitted. He did not say the founding principles were based on Christianity.

[countryboy1949]

@stinky472 There is nothing deceptive at all. I quoted Adam's complete statement.......Adams said what the founders could 'unite' on was Christianity.......so that means most were Christians.

Oh and the Treaty of Tripoli means nothing....it only was saying the Christian church is not the head of the US as the church is in Britain and that is true.

A simple reading of the Bill of Rights & the US Constitution indicates that the US was legally founded as a secular nation. Jesus, Christian & even god is no where mentioned in these founding documents.

America was founded by slave owners. Wanna own slaves now?

[emncaity]

There's also the fact that the founding fathers mostly saw nothing wrong with slavery, either.

That is, even if your premise were 100% true rather than weakly and sporadically true, true only when one ignores the whole body of evidence, the fact that the founding fathers said it doesn't exactly clinch it, does it?

And I'm saying this as a Christian myself. I just don't need a government to do the specific things a specific religion teaches.
