That’s not true at all. Many of the founding fathers were not Christians. They preferred to keep religion out of government affairs. They would not use the Bible as source for being against abortion. Many wars have been fought over religious beliefs and freedom and I feel a lot of Americans are falling into that same trap that the founding fathers wanted to keep us away from.
How many of you liberals

It’s 100% true as america was founded on Christianity. To tell yourself otherwise is lying to yourself. This nation was founded on Biblical principals and we’ve gotten away from them. That’s why we’re in the mess that we’re in. Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
I suspect we could have a very interesting discussion regarding the religious beliefs of the founding fathers, but that is neither here nor there. I understand and respect the position that any procedure to end a pregnancy at any stage is a sin against God and I wouldn’t presume to try and convince anyone otherwise.
This is worth a read.
The Founding Fathers’ Religious Wisdom
This notion—that our country’s roots are explicitly Christian—is both foolish and wrong.

So because they weren’t members of a church and one opposed prayer that defiles the foundation? Lol. You do know that being a member of a church does not make you a Christian Right?This is worth a read.

God or the divine is referenced in every state constitution
God or the divine is mentioned at least once in each of the 50 state constitutions and nearly 200 times overall.

You can believe in God without going to Church. That wouldn’t make you a Christian, but that does not mean you don’t share some of the same beliefs as Christians. Most of the founding fathers practiced Deism. They believed in God the creator, but believed man should use their own reason and logic to resolve issues to live in peace and harmony—not what is said in the Bible.So because they weren’t members of a church and one opposed prayer that defiles the foundation?

Hear the Founding Fathers Speak on Faith, Jesus, and the Bible
Listen to the founding fathers' quotes on religion. Catch a glimpse of the strong spiritual convictions of the men who formed our nation's foundation.
Good read. But instead of just using quotes taking out of a text, we should consider their entire body of work. They didn’t force their religious beliefs on the governance of the American people. They didn’t say well the Bible says this and we should do it this way, although they may agree that the principles of Christianity may be the best way for one to live their lives.Hear the Founding Fathers Speak on Faith, Jesus, and the Bible

We have our own opinions about that but you people try to force your opinions on us. That is called communism.
You used the right person for your response, another dumb ass who didn’t get it.
Only thing Odumba could do was "lead from behind".
You don’t change your society for a very few unfortunate people. You don’t break down the fabric of you society. You don’t win as a male so you compete as a female. Maybe every guy that doesn’t make the mens basketball team comes to school the next day dressed in a blouse and leads your girls team to victory. Having an all male girls basketball team is where this is headed.
Will, Will, Will, you again use a progressive left web site to try and prove a point. I won't even open an article from such an unreliable and biased site. This org. was founded by John Podesta. LOL SMH.
I am truly asking this, did you not once try to convince us you were not a leftist?[/url]
