Christianity and the Founding Fathers

The core group of Founders were Diest, and they generally accepted religion as a whole as being beneficial--though probably never actually studied some of the weirder things that can happen. At that time, people generally thought all religion was for moral guidance, and they would prefer it to Atheism. That much is true. But, certainly, they would have no qualms with a Hindu or Muslim or Sikh, so long as they stuck to the principles of civil government. They wouldn't appreciate abortion, homosexuality or transgenderism, though.

Like, they want religion to be safe, because it teaches you a set of moral values, that restrains the population from doing evil. They also don't want that religion being set up in the government. They want religion to be a personal choice, and something that governs man's heart, and not the society's. As many of them felt religion was a personal journey--being that a lot of them were Masons--and they felt religion was a personal experience, which is why they carefully craft their words to say "Religion" and not "Christianity". But, they had the highest respect for the doctrine of Christ, there can be no doubt about that. They preferred Him to all others, but many of them probably took it as a moral framework, and didn't actually believe He was the Son of God.
