I just got this chain letter sent to me proclaiming (with unsourced quotes) that the majority of the founding fathers were Christians and that in itself deems that the placement of the 10 Commandments justifiable in Gov't buildings. At the end of the email it states:
"It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.
Therefore, it is very hard to understand
why there is such a mess about having the Ten
Commandments on display or 'In God We Trust'
on our money and having God in the Pledge of
Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the other
14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!"
What do you think about this? And is there still an ongoing debate about whether the majority of our 'notable' Founding Fathers were Christian's or Deist's?
