I'd agree with that, certainly. There was a variety of beliefs and non-beliefs in the founding fathers and they took a surprisingly philosophical approach to the institutions they created. Naturally, I'd say that religious beliefs were a part of their philosophical approach.
Unfortunately, what I see these days, is people that want to say "They were Christian, so get over it. We are going to do things the Christian way and by the Christian way, I mean my way." That I vehemently disagree with. Cheers, Judah On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 1:41 PM, Scott Stroz <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good point.
