Original Message America’s Founders insisted that no religion in America was to be privileged, and none was to be demeaned.

“I have found Christian dogma unintelligible,” wrote Benjamin Franklin. “Early in life I absented myself from Christian assemblies.”

There is no mention anywhere of Jesus Christ in the extensive correspondence of George Washington. Historian Barry Schwartz says: “George Washington’s practice of Christianity was limited and superficial because he was not himself a Christian….He repeatedly declined the church’s sacraments. Never did he take communion, and when his wife, Martha, did, he waited for her outside the sanctuary.”

If the U.S. was founded on the Christian religion, the Constitution could easily have said so. The silence is deafening. Nowhere is there any mention of God, Jesus, or Christianity.
