If you could lie and say you know there is a God, when not a single person in history has been able to provide objective evidence to support this theory, then there is no limit to your dishonesty and jaded world views in my eyes. There will never be peace and justice when people can lie about such a sacred topic.
The founding fathers were smart enough to know that religion and government needed to be separated, and for good reason. That is the only truly interesting point in regards to the founding father's faith. | Irrefutable Proof of God or NO God: Agree. That's why they call it faith.
"Only interesting point" that "religion and government needed to be separated" is not the whole picture. So called "separation of church and state" is a modern Supreme Court construction which has grown even farther from it's orginal text. It is not in the Constitution.
First: True enough, 1st Amendment says the state shall form no religion (separation). But in the very next sentence it enumerates safeguards for the practice of religion.
At the time of the Constitution's implementation, this did not apply to individual states but only the federal government. That's why the orginal states could and did use tax dollars to support Christian churches.
Second: Our laws and Constitution are based on Christian doctrine--I would say that makes our Founder's faith historically very significant.
