No, I don't beleive they were ALL fervent, devout, bible thumping Christians any more than I believe any one given group of people today are totally like-minded. The mere premise of this is an absolute absurdity.
Yes, Pete, "organized religion of ANY stripe". ANY stripe, including CHRISTIANITY. Sure, one can believe in the teachings of Christ and never step foot in a church. I understand that.
But, are you really trying to get me to believe that the Church, any church, hasn't, isn't or wouldn't try to get it's claws into the government for the purpose of garnering undue influence over public policy? Please. They whine about it constantly. "Get God back into government.", "Christian Nation", "Put Prayer back into Public Schools", blah, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseum.
