Myth the majority of the founding fathers were atheist

Divinggirl.
of the 56 signers of the declaration of independence all of them were Christians.
Episcopalian/Anglican 32 signers 57.1%
Congregationalist 13 signers 23.2%
Presbyterian 12 signers 21.4%
Quaker 2 signers 3.6%
Unitarian/universalist 2 signers 3.6%
Catholic 1 signer 1.8%
Total 56 signers 100%

No Atheist as per your statement!
Also the founding fathers never put separation of Church and state in the Constitution of the United States of America.

32+13+12+2+2+1 = 62

57.1+23.2+21.4+3.6+3.6+1.8 = 110.7%

Must be Christian math!
Definitely not a scientific study.

Besides, even today, many people identify with the church of their youth but actually believe (or don't believe) differently. When asked, I usually say I am Methodist - but I haven't stepped into a Methodist Church in years and my belief system today is vastly different than the teachings of the church.

Should of been 26 Episcopalian/Anglican simple math typo error my part. Doesn't change history.

LindaJ what is the difference what you practice, The statement pertains to the signers religious status at that time in history. They were not atheists.

I'd be interested in your citation for that fact.

Linda you can Google the statement for your enjoyment and edification, a lot of info and citations available. I didn't make a citation, I made a statement. Have fun.

I heard Andrew Jackson was from Andromeda.

Andrew Jackson was only 9 years old when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Doesn't really matter where he was from regarding this topic, History books might serve you better than TV on such topics. PM me your phone number so I can help you out.

"Lambert (2003) has examined the religious affiliations and beliefs of the Founders. Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 49 were Protestants, and two were Roman Catholics (D. Carroll, and Fitzsimons). Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 28 were Church of England (or Episcopalian, after the American Revolutionary War was won), eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists.

Historian Gregg L. Frazer argues that the leading Founders (Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Wilson, Morris, Madison, Hamilton, and Washington) were neither Christians nor Deists, but rather supporters of a hybrid "theistic rationalism".

None.
Interesting except the post refers to the declaration of independence. On July 4, 1776 John Hancock signed (one signature on that date) On August 2, 1776, 55 founding fathers signed that date. 1 + 55 = 56. Eleven years difference in time for the constitutional convention.

The only reason I posted this topic. divinggirl Posted;" Quote" Wow-it's sad that laws like this exist in this day and age. Especially considering that most of the founding father's were atheist. What happened to the separation of church and state. { this was her reply regarding atheist could not hold certain public offices in a few states today}.
