Wow! Until now, I had been unaware that there were so many people arguing over the issue of whether this country was founded as a Christian nation or not. The debate is hot! The viewpoints are all over the place! Predictably, those who oppose each other's viewpoint quote the Founding Fathers in support of completely antithetical views. Amusingly, and confusingly, some Christians say one thing, and some Christians say another.

This first citation is from a Southern Baptist theologist who rejects the idea that America was founded as a Christian nation.

These same folks oppose making our government Christian, because government is worldly, and the Church is not of this world. These folks are Southern Baptists, at Quartz Hill School of Theology located in Quartz Hill, California.

And here these same Southern Baptists debunk David Barton's "Our Godly Heritage."

The Freemasons, on the other hand, believe the Founding Fathers were Freemasons:

And here are some more links, quoting our Founding Fathers in support of both sides of the question:
