If our Founding Fathers were all Christians, why did they say this?

6. Christian governments in 1789

You don't even need to quote the FFs really.

In 1789 a "Christian Nation" was one with a KING..... a king who's family was chosen by god to rule.


The USA was designed to be the antithesis of that set up. It was to be a country who didn't have rulers selected by some god, but elected, secularly, by the citizens of the country.

What happened when we gained our independence was:

We USED to be colonies of a Christian Nation with a King.... but we rejected that so as to be a secular nation with leaders elected by citizens.

At its very core, the USA was a reaction against Christian nations.... the antithesis of a Christian nation.


Religious rewriters of history seem to think there were plenty of democratic counties around when the FFs invented America. As usual, they don't seem to grasp that things were NOT just like their back yard and kitchen table are today, but very very different. (Religious zealots are so small minded)
