Were the Founders of the United States simply “deists”? Debunking this modern myth. Most who are even somewhat familiar with apologetics and debate concerning political history may recall the common assertion: “the Founders certainly weren’t Christians!

They have operated as henchmen for Presidents and made Presidents and Congressmen into their… read more
