It may have been taught in school that America was founded on Christianity, but the proof of this is not reflected in the writings of our Founding Fathers. In fact, the first six American presidents were actually in front of the doctrine and the dogma of Christianity.
Would you like to refer to prejudice and murder case as a Christian? One of our ancestors were so compromised against Native Americans who once described as "without humanity out of shape" and"A predator." Known as the "father of our country," President George Washington was known as "The Town Destroyer" and "The murderess of women and children" among the Indian people Onadaga killed in cold blood and his militia. They have the good ol 'George (who would not lie) to believe that this country was founded on Christian principles? Washington is quoted as saying. "The United States is in no way founded on the Christian doctrine"
John Adams, second president of the United StatesStates had to use too little for religion, although he said. "The divinity of Jesus is a convenient cover for absurdity Nowhere in the Gospels we find an offer for the Creed, Confessions, Oaths, teaching and other trinkets wagons all stupid, that we find in Christianity."
Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and principal author of the Declaration of Independence "found not a single bright spot in Orthodox Christianity" andadded:
------ Christianity perverted system that ever appeared to man. ------ Deception, absurdity and the falsehoods were perpetrated, the teachings of Jesus by a large crowd of fools and crooks by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teachings of Jesus out. The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we hope thatthe dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States does not work with this artificial scaffolding, and again to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors.
Jefferson also called for limiting the power of government, and was an advocate for the separation of church and state.
James Madison, fourth president of the United States better than he thought, no religion says: For almost fifteen centurieslegal establishment known as Christianity has been on trial, and what the rewards were more or less in all places? These are the fruits: pride, sloth, ignorance and arrogance of the clergy. Ignorance, arrogance and servility in the laity, and in both clergy and laity, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States was, without doubt, was a religious man, as a Christian president is remembered, however, some say, a LincolnSkeptics of Christianity. He is quoted as saying: "The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion, I could never assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma .." His views do not change over the course of his political career. It has been observed following to say: "My earlier views of unsustainability of Christian salvation and the human origins of Scripture, become clearer and stronger with the years and I see no reason to believe that will never changethem. "
After Lincoln's assassination of an American author and editor of Scribner's Monthly called Dr. Josiah G. Dutch religious opinions of Lincoln wrote:
"------ He believed in God, and believed to be ------ subject to the control and leadership. ------ This unshakable belief in the Divine Providence began at his mother's lap and ran as a golden thread through all the experiences of his life. His constant sense of human duty was one of the ways in which faith manifests itsitself. ------ It 'a direct relationship between God and saw themselves, in all actions and passions of his life. Should not be a Christian, that is, adheres to no creed, does not include the organization of Christian discipleship. ------ He spoke little of his religious belief and experience, but he had a deep religious life that sometimes permeated with superstition ------ ".
Perhaps Lincoln recognized the difference in spirituality, our connection and relationship with ourCreator and religion, which is exactly what we have in each other and our Creator individual experiments.
Apart from the President, other founding fathers of the vote in recognition of the fact that Christianity has little merit when it comes to a nation of people. When Benjamin Franklin was asked about his religion, he said:
When Jesus of Nazareth, I think that the system of morals and his religion when he left us is the best in the world has ever seen or can see, but I understandhas received various corrupting changes, and I, with most of today's dissenters in England some doubts about his divinity. ------ I do not think that the Supreme takes ill, by distinguishing the unbelievers in his government of the world, with a special sign of his discontent.
Deism is a philosophy of the seventeenth and eighteenth century and the religious movement prominent in Great Britain and the United States. Deists typically reject supernatural events and divine revelationjointly organized religion. In addition to the holy books and religions that claim the existence of these things, theistic religious beliefs support human reasoning on the observation of the natural world, revealing the existence of a supreme being must be established. Deist Thomas Paine had a strong opinion on religion:
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church believe, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I knowof. My opinion is my church. ------ Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.
The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States is part of the Bill of Rights, the legislature has established a national religion by Congress or the support or prefer one religion over another prevented. The first amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law, an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This part of theFirst Amendment is sometimes referred to as "the separation of church and state" that the state or national government should be kept separate from religious institutions known means.
I doubt that the Ten Commandments in courthouses in the early days of U.S. history were written. Our founding fathers suggested the First Amendment and rejected Christianity as a dominant factor in the government and policy issues. Have a government that excluded the faith of synchronization attemptsentire population, they were told what to do with and what to believe, is included. They wanted religious freedom. Today, we as citizens still want religious freedom, but there can be no religious freedom when the religion of the masses are controlled by the government. But this is precisely what happened in our country. Religious groups are trying to control the government from imposing laws that marriage is to decide what is grown in our backyard and what the Federal medical research can befunded.
Every time a law passed is that the responsibility for what happens in a person's home, marriage, health or religion, we lose another personal right to use that in the laws, has been assured to find our country. It 'time to get up and vote against the bills and amendments that take away the one thing in common: our freedom of religion the founding fathers had.
