No, they did not all believe in God, and they certainly weren't all christians. Many of them were believers, but so what, they were sure to separate what people chose to believe from any government interference. You apparently want a theocracy seer, but that's actually an impossibility, God, if he exists at all, apparently isn't interested. -
The majority were Christian, and those who weren't still believed that our rights and duties were God given. That is not a secular doctrine Jim, our founding document was not secular in nature. No matter how you protest that is a fact.Originally posted by JimL View PostAtheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Jim, the Constitution does not address the source of our rights, that was ALREADY established in the Declaration.Originally posted by JimL View PostAtheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

The primary figure who drafted the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson, did not view God in any traditional sense: “The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. … But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding…. “ And John Adams wrote: “The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” The text of the U.S. Constitution makes no mention of God, Jesus Christ, or Christianity. Any reference to God by the early Founding Fathers was more akin to Deism, which was popular at the time, than the Christian understanding of God...i.e. the belief in God as the creator of all things, but not as a miracle worker or one that answers to prayer.Originally posted by seer View Post“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.Comment
