Patrick Henry, a member of Continental Congress, said this:
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
Virtually all of the 55 writers and signers of the U.S. Constitution of 1787, were members of Christian denominations; 29 were Anglicans, 16 to 18 were Calvinists, 2 were Methodists, 2 were Lutherens, 2 were Roman Catholic, 1 lapsed Quaker and sometimes Anglican, and 1 open Diest- Dr. Franklin who attended every kind of Christian worship, called for public prayer, and contributed to all denominations. |
