It's absolutely amazing how brilliant and versed David Barton is with all of his original documents and Gaylor over there just rolling her eyes and talking about sectarianism with NO sources behind her.  Haha.

What a sad case this woman and people like her are. She is attempting to argue with a man who owns a multitude of original documents related to our nation's early history and writings from the founders themselves, by simply referencing false and revisionist historians that truly have an agenda to exclude the mention of God in the public sphere. Was that a straw-man in her pocket or was she just glad to see failure? WAH, WAh, Wah...

@bRizzle2009100 I know. It is appalling to me, that the Supreme Court and the Congress allowed such a book to exist in this God free nation! ;)

Art. 11.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion,—as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen,—and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

@1angrywhite Alexander Hamilton, Roger Sherman, John Witherspoon, Abraham Baldwin, Frederick A. Muhlenberg, Benjamin Rush, Charles Carroll, John Qunicy Adams, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, James Wilson, John Jay, Jacob Broom, John Dickinson, John Hancock, George Mason, Gouverneur Morris, George Washington, John Adams and others all were Christians.

Thomas Paine, Ethan Allen, Benjamin Franklin were Deists.

We were founded predominately by Christians. Deism was almost non-existent anyway.

@1angrywhite I looked the book up and its author. It was published in the 1850's! Thats amazing. Its author was an accredited historian at the time. The book was used in public schools too. The entire first page of the book is basically the early history of the Bible and it was taught in schools. Thats pretty awesome. Very different from the books we read nowadays.
