The role of religion in the thinking and philosophy and actions of the Founding Fathers is a very complex one. Attempts to portray them all as freethinking atheists is vastly oversimplifying matters (as would any blanket description for dozens of strong-minded activist individuals from across several states).
Of course, attempts to portray them all as “orthodox, deeply religious Christians” — particularly as the term is meant today — is equally simplistic. And, to be perfectly blunt, doctoring quotes to make it look that way is itself hardly in keeping with Christ’s teachings.
