That's hilarious and I never considered that
Was trying to be mostly humorous about it, but there's good reason to think that a lot of the founding fathers were, if not athiest, then not-ardent-Christians. Some absolutely were devout christians. some were probably atheists. But it's bad politics- even today- to not be at least some form of christian.
that said originally, the amendment separating church and state was not inteded to protect the government from the church. it was intended to protect the church from the state. (I.E. many states had codified denominations with "others" being made... illegal.)
A bunch - Adams, Jefferson, Washington - were out Deists.
Which seems to be the enlightened / accepted version of "eh, let's keep religion to religion and out of the state"
What, why? About 40% of my country are christ (half/half reform./catholic). Yet i only saw a few old people the last time i was in church.
This isn't common sense?
Not a lot going on in the 1790s, might as well listen to some old blowhard scream how y'all going to hell for seeing an uncovered ankle.
Yeah in the year 2023. George Washington was alive hundreds of years ago..... When people were more conservative and more religious
