@jennyCook Except that I’m not an atheist. But thanks for playing, though. Since you’re making assumptions and passing judgment, I’ll assume you’re probably not a Christian.
It would be a sign for the christian nationalist fascists to back off also it has been added 1956 so it's not like it has been there since the beginning.
@Rizzle420 No my man, you're wrong. The Donation is founded in Biblical Principles and I am perfectly in Agreement with that. I have no qualms about the statement being left on our Money.
@bijouxbroussard The lecture is actually documented on the Taft series of lectures and I actually found it a couple of years ago. She was heavily guarded since she was primarily responsible for convincing Senators that then Appellate Judge Bork would contract rather than expand rights of citizens. I think she was trying to underline to have a government that represented the thoughts and beliefs of those forming the critical documents of the country. I don’t think that even one representative claimed atheism although I do believe the Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin didn’t claim Christianity but Deism instead.
@Pfuzylogic then you don't know your history very well...it's certainly not essential and tbh most of the founding fathers were christian in name only and in todays society they would most likely be atheists... with the possible exception of John Adams... did you know that Thomas Jefferson created a version of the Bible where he took out anything that couldn't be backed by science or reason?... needless to say it becomes more of a pamphlet at that point lol
