RELIGIOUS PLURALITY

Quick!! Name the Founding Father who was a Hindu. O.K., name the Founding Father who was a Buddhist. Times up; name the Founding Father who was a Muslim.  How about a follower of Judaism? A Scientologist, a Mormon, a Jehovah’s Witness (I know, they weren’t around yet but you get the point).

Now, name the Founding Fathers (note the plural) who were of some denomination of Christianity and/or used the Christian Bible (not the Tipitaka, the Bhagavad Gita, the Koran, or the Torah).  So where does the insistence that our Founding Fathers were of a “religious plurality” come from?  No Hindu’s, no Buddhists, no Muslims; nothing but Christians (so-called atheists/agnostics don’t count, that’s not a faith, that’s foolishness-Psalm 14:1).  Where’s the “religious plurality”?

This is not to suggest that all those of non-Christian beliefs be deported from the United States, or that they be “forced” to convert to Christianity.  This is simply to remember that our blessed country was started with a firm reliance upon the Christian God  (there really is no other-Isaiah 44:8) and the Christian Bible.
