President Barak Hussein Obama -Speech in Turkey
Some of the founders were not believers in Jesus Christ or the Bible although the vast majority of them were. Yet they all appealed to the Bible. John Adams (1725-1836) was a believer. It is an amazing thing to watch the "ungodly mind" attempting revisionist history, and playing games with semantics.
Adams wrote to Jefferson after both were out of office in which he declared:
The general principles on which the Fathers achieved independence, were the only principles which that beautiful Assembly of young gentlemen could unite And what were these general principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity in which ALL THESE SECTS WERE UNITED: And the general principles of English and American Liberty, in which all those young men united, and which has united all parties in America, in majorities sufficient to assert and maintain her Independence.
Now I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general Principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable, as the Existence and Attributes of God; and that those Principles of Liberty, are as unalterable as human nature and our terrestrial, mundane system."
2 Tim. 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, AND OF A SOUND MIND.
Are we now a religious people? We are about to find out!
"This is not a Christian Nation" "That's just stupidity!"

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Sorry, Dr. Vickery. I find this shallow and one-sided. If you can not accurately quote President Obama's speech which occurred less than a year ago, I can't trust you to accurately quote the Founding Fathers from over 200 years ago.I thought that Adams was quoted correctly and what Obama says doesn't matter because her will either change it or say - or one of his henchman will say. "He misspoke!"
I think you've got the title right, anyway.
