Well, your figures are wrong (Or maybe mine are) but below there were 39 signers of Constitution and 56 of DvI. Many of whom were NOT the same. The firebrand revolutionaries moved on before the constitution was ratified. Category Total Number Involved Number & Percent Who Were Freemasons Signers of the Declaration of Independence 56 9 -- 16% Signers of the U.S. Constitution 39 13 -- 33% Generals in the Continental Army 74 33 -- 46% And while I am not a freemason groupie / advocate / conspiratoral therist type, freemasons certainly are not, as a group, orthodox christians. More than 1 or 6 were freemasons. And that does NOT imply the REST were fundie Christians. Ahem, Free Masons can believe in any Divine Being they wish as long as they believe in one. Most of my male relatives were Free Masons as well as Baptists, Methodists, Church of Christ or Presbyterian. Being a Free Mason doesn't mean you aren't a Christian but you don't have to be a Christian to be a Free Mason. ************************************** Get a sneak peak of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
