How many times does the words Jesus Christ, Christian, or the Bible appear in the Constitution or the Federalist Papers?
Why did the Founders use words like “Providence” and “Almighty” instead of directly referencing Christ?
The world is not as simple as you’d like it to be.[/quote]
Pri: Nor is it as simple as you’re making it out to be, either. The Founding Fathers were Deists and did believe in God, but were very wary of a state-sponsored religion, especially after George III and the Church of England.
To that end, you’ll note that caution in their writings, while they also express a belief in God, albeit not a God as represented by any specific faith or creed.
Whether you like it or not, this country was indeed founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and those principles are reflected in not only their writings, but the underpinnings of our legal system as well.
