I take all that back and apologize. I have to show you more respect than I do another poster or two here. You are respectable, and treat others with respect. But, you are wrong on the quoted post about committed Christians. If you do the research, away from "christian revisionist" websites, you will see that you are wrong. All believed in a supreme being. Some claimed to be christians, but a lot of them didn't even attend church. Most kept religion at "arms length".

I can totally accept this. The argument that there were up to 27 with seminary degrees is not completely out of the question though. Even using my numbers, most of the founding fathers may well have shown respect for the church without really having had a personal relationship with God. So, your point that most kept religion at arms length is not only possible, I find it very likely.
