Dan,

Yes, we can go toe to toe on quotes about the founding fathers. I have seen scores of sites that supply quotes attributed to the very same people on both sides of the issue. What does that prove?

It proves that at best these men were ambivalent in their beliefs. Willing to tell some people that they were religious, and willing to tell others they were not. Would a Christian who was really firm in their beliefs be willing to tell anyone that they didn't believe?

What these men really believed is obviously debatable. The only thing we know for sure is that the intentions of these founding fathers was to keep church and State separated, and that America should be a land that where all religions enjoy equal footing. those are the only only concepts that the founding fathers were willing to state emphatically on this subject.

Unless of course Emile finds a copy of the Babylonian Bill of Rights wherein it states that Judaiaism is a tool of the devil, and that Christians are all Jews, so therefore..... Oh never mind:-)
