Imagine anything you like. The Founding Fathers, as has been stated
before, were well aware of the evils of Christianity. To them, it was
recent history. Evils both in Britain as well as in the Colonies. So,
yes, Christianity was very much an influence-a negative one.

[very heavy sigh]
One, or a dozen, do not exist.
Cretin. [Observations are not name calling]
Ok little one; "What is there to be agnostic about?"

of painful advances in knowledge to highlight your myriad idiocies?
What fools these christians be [not all inclusive alert].
