The bible says let every man be convienced in his own eyes.
That was the basis for freedom of speech"
"But at the same time you can't deny that the forfathers believed in God, and a well majority of them were Christian.
On the money it says "In God We Trust"."
"I might be mistaken, but every single president was a follower of Christ, or atleast they said they believed in him."

\"every single president was a follower of Christ, or at least said they believed in him\"
And, of course, politicians NEVER lie, right? Never mind that someone who is anything other than some version of Xianity wouldn't have a chance of getting elected by the ignorant majority in this country.

BTW, the \"In God We Trust\" has only been on the money for around 50 years. Wasn't originally on there. Or in the Pledge of Alleigance.
Oh, and one other thing...
Treaty of Tripoli, bitch.

Treaty of Tripoli. And what a president belives is not what a country belives. By example, Chile got a agnostic president, but the population there is mostly roman catholic. I could go on and on...

Then, why do you fundies don't let be "convienced in his own eyes" about evolution, liberalism, secularism, etc.?

Thomas Jefferson was a deist. John Adams was a unitarian meaning he didn't think Jesus was the son of God but a prophet instead. Benjamin Franklin was a deist rumored to be an atheist. James Madison was a deist. Washington was episcopal but spoke out strongly against religion.
Even Aaron Burr was an atheist.
Yeah a real group of holy men right there.
