The Founding Fathers were of many different faiths. Some were Christian and others were Deists. The fact remains that they created a secular Constitution that respects all religions and guarantees the right not to hold a religious belief.

  • Some Founding Fathers were Christian. Some were certainly not (Franklin and Paine can both be described as deist at best). However, that is beside the point. The Fathers created a secular government when they could have set up a theocracy. "So help me God" could have been included in the Presidential oath in the Constitution... it is not.

  • Was Tillman killed by the Christian soldiers for being an Atheist?

  • I'm not sure that that has been proven. It has been brought up as a possibility. I've heard that it's called "fragging"- maybe, one day, we'll know the whole truth behind his death. It seems to be hush, hush now...

  • I understand that the Treaty of Tripoly was written while Washington was president and was signed by Senator John Adams. You're right, the video says "penned" and I should have typed "signed by"- I would like some more info on the "fake" Washington quote. I got my info from "Fighting Words" by Robin Morgan.

  • @NeptuneMovies222 Jefferson said The Christian religion is the best in the world...you heathens need to go get a life or you'll lose it.

  • @megaman4life Yes they were Christian...52 of the 55 founders were Christian....The devil is always hard at work and very good at deceiving people!  How dare these liberals state this nation did not have a Christian beginning as it did. That's what made us special and the reason we have lasted but now we are losing freedoms and being taxed to death and are deeply in debt---thanks A lot progressives and Obama! YOU rotten usurpers!

  • stupid video!!! samuel adams, robert lee, john jai, patrick henry, john witherspoon, benjamin rush, john hanckok, etc etc etc, ¿were not christians?.....

  • @eveningcoconut76 It could not have been signed by "Senator" John Adams. If you know your history you would know that when George Washington was president. John Adams was his vice president!

  • Not going to lie, that video was pretty powerful.

  • James Madison,Father of the Constitution,Bill of Rights,,Founding Father;"The number, the industry and the morality of the priesthood& the devotion of the people have been manifesrtly increased by THE TOTAL SEPARTATION OF THE CHURCH FROM THE STATE."

    Feb,1811,vetoed a bill to give Church funding for schools,etc b/c it violated the 1st amendment,Congress agreed. March,'11, vetoed giving a church governmt land,same reason. Congress debated,+ agreed.

  • @megaman4life Have you ever read anything these men actually wrote??

  • Can one of you Bible-thumping Teabaggers please show us where God or Jesus are mentioned in the US Constitution?

  • @DocWorrad

    What that quote means is this...

    Folks like you that comment the way you do with total disdain toward God are what Jefferson is speaking about. YOU and the others pervert Christianity by your lies and misguided statements! May God forgive you!
