One letter says, “History reveals that God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ was in the hearts of the founders of this nation.” I ques- tion that. There’s much more evi- dence that they were worldly and practical men. Jefferson, particu- larly, was infl uenced by the philos- ophers of the Enlightenment. It’s hard for me to imagine that they would have allowed the horrors of slavery to persist if they had all been dedicated Christians. As for references to God in the Declaration of Independence being evidence of the founders’ religion, Jefferson obviously used emotional language because he needed to stir up the colonies’ passions against the British. We can argue all we want over how religious the founding fathers were, whether the Constitution con- tains some biblical language and even evolution. The bottom line is that the “G” word does not appear in the supreme legal document of this land and there has to be a good reason for that, particularly if the founders were as religious as some make them out to be. And also, why did they further defi ne the separation of religion and gov- ernment in the First Amendment? Unfortunately, we now have some very powerful extremist groups who want to break down that separation. I don’t think they real- ize what a calamity that would be. When religious beliefs grounded in dogma are forced to confront the give and take and compromise of lawmaking, that’s a sure formula for unresolved confl ict.
