A good book to read on this subject is called American Gospel by John Meacham.
yes it is and no it isnt. This is one of the most highly misinterpreted notions about the finding of America. It is true that the US as well as most of the western world was built on judeo christian principals, however that does not mean that we were ever a pious or holier than thou society like some people try to make it seem like. Most of our founding fathers were agnostic, some were athiest, and some were what would be considered modern day christians, but never did they intend to have a highly religious government or society
Cool man, I'll have to check it out.Quote:

If any one has questions and want to get them answered without the drama, there are a ton of bible based churches that teach in love, because ultimately it's what is about. The truth can ALWAYS be questioned. If you don't ask questions...something's up with you.
But on topic...it is amazing that this guy who did the documentary on the founding fathers not being christians is actually a christian pastor. As he contends Glen Beck and others want us to believe this was a christian country so they could fall into the politics of the world and it's causes. One can look at the symbols on our currency and statues throughout DC and realize the founding fathers were definitely not christian...possibly Deists...and probably Pagans or worshipers of the occult. You really just don't know. Even if they were christians they didn't do a good job of following the bible very well....
Damn, less politics and religion, more jiu jitsu =D.

I do remember being told once that apparent true Christians never get involved in the politics of this world as they believe it is controlled by Satan. I'm sure I remember some Illuminati films saying the founding fathers were actually Masonic occultist satan worshipers who just used the name of Chritianity for political ends. Maybe this film will shed some light on these claims.
