THE FOUNDING FATHERS

     Google "Deism" and you will find untold numbers of discussions on the religious views of the founders of this country. It seems that groups of all kinds-Christian, Deist, Atheist, and more- want to claim kinship in their views.
     The fact is that the founders views on religion were as diverse as current society. It is also possible to put a label on very few of them. Most of the leaders were men who thought for themselves and though most were associated with some denomination, they did not agree with 100% of the doctrines.
     The one thing the majority agreed on, however, was an extreme and well-founded dislike of big government and big religion.They wanted for themselves and this country the liberty of thought and reasoned acts.
     It matters not at all what religious beliefs these great men held. What matters is that the system they put in motion allows me to hold and express mine.
