Out first four Presidents were rational theists not Christians. I thought you were in agreement with that. Rational Theism was rooted in the enlightenment philosophies of their time which included Deism.
What I’m saying is that rational theism and enlightenment principles in the minds of our founders produced the secular document called the Constitution. It was not a CHRISTIAN document in any way shape or form. It was not anti-Christian document either.
That is the valuable contribution from Deism that formed our founding culture.
That’s why it is improper to demand that we all must accept your erroneous notion that America was founded as a Christian Nation.
You have zero examples of any deist culture in colonial America.
