Most of those men you cite were Deists. That's not quite the same as a Christian. Actually, Deism and Christianity are different religions. deism.com You come up with quotes; I come up with quotes. One question remains, though: If the Founders wanted a theocracy, why didn't they establish one? Here, chew on a little Tom Paine: Christians do not try to know God in a reasonable way, Paine wrote. They rely upon a Bible, riddled with inconsistencies, subject to interpretation, therefore fallible. He compared the mythology of the Trinity with the paternity of Zeus, still a provocative analogy. Having dispensed with Christianity, Paine spoke again about his deist God as the power and wisdom anyone can witness, evidenced "in the immensity of the creation, ...in the unchangeable order by which the incomprehensible is governed." media-visions.com
