My brothers, examine those quotes carefully and you will find they aren't talking about Christianity or the Bible - as experts on government (as they largely were) they were talking about 'organized' religion of ANY stripe.

Now they would undoubtabley be striking at the religion of science & government.

READ SOURCE MATERIAL! It's obvious. Think about my current sig. And look at their actions. There were 3 national calls to a day of prayer and fasting during the Revolutionary war by the Continental Congress. 29 of the 56 signatories of the Declaration had ecumenical degrees (they were pastors). There has always - always - been a Christian Chaplin, paid by the Congress, at Congress. They authorized the 1st legal printing of the Bible here for pete's sake. How does this jive with the current mantra?

Sorry for going off topic so badly, I'll back away slowly

Pete
