<< Bradford is the first and only historian to have gathered and read all the extant writings of the Founders and the ratifiers of the Constitution. >>

How did you determine this Freddy? Did all of the other historians notify you of this or what? Or did you make this assumption? There are a lot of history scholars out there, and I find it hard to believe that nobody else did this research. Of course, now I am making an assumption, but if you can show me how you determined this, I am willing to concede the point.

The basic question remains. Was it the goal of the founding fathers to create a Judeo/Christian nation like the Christian Coalition claims? I am not asking if they were Christians and Jews themselves, or whether they were hostile to religion. I maintain that it was there goal to create a secular government to avoid the conflict that they saw, amoungst different religions, in other governments.
