If Gregoree had half a marble of brains left he would realize the only thing that protects his superstitious cult is the secular state. However Gregoree is a show of force Christian who wants the backing of the state similar to the Roman Empire. Instead of centurions spearing Christians and throwing them to the lions he wants the state to do that to non-believers and un-wed mothers while he eats popcorn and throws feces at them from the stands.

"..some of them did hold a nominal Christianity."

Just another example of why you can never trust a single thing an atheist tells you. They lie lie lie.
or as Vox day puts it:

"...one always has to assume, until it is demonstrated otherwise, that an atheist is a lying snake who will deceitfully redefine the language to suit his arguments at need. .... They reject the source of morality, after all, so they have no rationale for behaving in a truthful, moral manner. But what astonishes me time and time again is that they should choose to tell such stupid, easily exposed lies over and over again."

From wikipedia:

Religion Lambert (2003) has examined the religious affiliations and beliefs of the Founders. Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 49 were Protestants, and three were Roman Catholics (C. Carroll, D. Carroll, and Fitzsimons). Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 28 were Church of England (or Episcopalian, after the American Revolutionary War was won), eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists.

A few prominent Founding Fathers were anti-clerical Christians, such as Thomas Jefferson [13] [14] [15] (who created the so-called " Jefferson Bible") and Benjamin Franklin. [16] A few others (most notably Thomas Paine) were deists, or at least held beliefs very similar to those of deists. [17]

So let's see; "some" to the dishonest atheist equals 52 out of 55 with three holding to some forem of Deism which btw is a belief in God. How many were atheists? Try ZERO!
