How Christian were the Founders?
I saw this interesting article posted at my other religious forum.

Re: How Christian were the Founders?
Could you not find a longer article?
It took me two tries and I still only made it through about 5 of the pages amongst the chaos here. I agree with the people in the article up to a point. I agree that religious influences on history should be included in the textbooks, that many of the founders were Christians and that many principles of Christianity can be found in the plans they laid out for us. I don't really go along with the idea that America is God ordained in some special way. I personally don't believe America is inherently any more Christian than France or England or any other country. I do believe that America is more... I don't know if Christian friendly is the best way to put it, but something like that.
