Response to Original message |
| 31. I agree with much of what you say except the following |
|
Thomas Jefferson, its author, was a Deist, opposed to orthodox Christianity and the supernatural.
Jefferson attended a Christian Church and never identified himself as a deist. Others called him that because of his unorthodox ideas...but really, the "all the founders were deists" argument is the weakest against this being a Christian nation because it is too easy to prove false.
The truth is the overwhelming number of founders were Christians and founded a secular nation because they saw the evil that could be commited when church and state are mixed.
