"That the FF's expanded Locke's ideas doesn't change the fact of where they came from."

True. But arguing we have gone beyond Locke's intention isn't a valid argument. Nor is arguing that because the FF's were influence by Locke, the country was founded on a Christian world view.

"As for rewriting history, its the secularists who do that."

They aren't the only ones. Anyone who does, however, is suspect.

"The FF's were a group of over 100 people and exactly one of them is known to h/b a deist."

Deism was a strong influence. As was the related Unitarianism.

In many of the colonies, there was only one legal church. Often it was the Anglican church. So, the fact that the majority of the FF's were members of the Anglican church doesn't mean a whole lot.
