The Founding Fathers of America were Anti-Christian; Anti-Religious
Blog Posted:12/5/2012 9:08:00 PM

 

It is surprising when Christians think the American Founding Father's
faith had anything to do with the Bible. Without exception, the faith of the
Funding Fathers was Deist, not Theist. It was best expressed earlier
in the Declaration of Independence, when they spoke of
"the Laws of Nature" and of "Nature's God."

In a sermon of October 1831, Episcopalian minister Bird Wilson said,
"Among all of our Presidents, from Washington onward, not one was a professor of
religion, at least not of more than Unitarianism."

The Founding Fathers of America are best understood as approving of God
BUT equally approving of the prohibition against the Establishment of a national
religion by Congress or the preference of one religion over another,
non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion. In some instances, they
are, indeed, Anti-Christian: expressing, in the main, suspicion of religious entities,
including, but not limited to Christian religious entities.
The Founding Fathers based the creation of the United States upon Universal
Spiritual values which included, but which were decidedly not limited to basic Christian values.

In being Deists, the American Founding Fathers believed in a God-Creator,
believed the precepts of the historical Jesus to be divine, but the biblical
accounts of Jesus to be mythical, man-made plagiarisms.
The American Founding Fathers weren't merely anti-Christian,
they were against all organized religions the whole world over.
There were moments when the Founding Fathers confused people
with their deviousness to gain the support of prominent Christians.

Before I show quotes of the Founding Fathers, I would like to first quote
W. Somerset Maugham: "The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit."
(Touche!)

_________


THOMAS PAINE:
"It is the duty of every true Deist to vindicate the moral justice of God
against the evils of the Bible."

"I would not dare to so dishonor my Creator God by attaching His name to
that book (the Bible)."

"The Christian church has set up a religion of pomp and revenue in
pretend imitation of a person (Jesus) who lived a life of poverty."

"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church,
by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any
church that I know of…Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and
for my own part, I disbelieve them all….Of all the systems of religion that ever were
invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man,
more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called
Christianity."


THOMAS JEFFERSON:
"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being
as his father in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation
of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." Thomas Jefferson letter to John Adams (1823)

"Christianity...(has become) the most perverted system that ever shone on
man...Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the
teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and imposters led by Paul, the
first great corruptor of the teachings of Jesus."

"The clergy converted the simple teachings of Jesus into an engine for
enslaving mankind and adulturated by artificial constructions into a
contrivance to filch wealth and power to themselves...these clergy in fact,
constitute the real Anti-Christ."

"I have examined all the known superstitions of the world and I do not find
in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They
are all alike founded on fables and mythology. Millions of innocent men,
women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been
burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this
coercion? To make one half the world fools and the other half hypocrites;
to support roguery and error all over the earth."


JOHN ADAMS
"The doctrine of the divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for
absurdity."

Adams signed the Treaty of Tripoli. Article 11 states:
"The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the
Christian religion."


JAMES MADISON
"What influence in fact have Christian ecclesiastical establishments had on
civil society? In many instances they have been upholding the thrones of
political tyrrany. In no instance have they been seen as the guardians of
the liberties of the people. Rulers who wished to subvert the public liberty
have found in the clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government,
instituted to secure and perpetuate liberty, does not need the clergy,
nor should such a government advocate a religion such as Christianity."
_____


For those of you who confuse the founding of America to be based on
Christianity, the Founding Fathers had a soft-spot for the Baptists,
claiming the Baptists as being: "The most reasonable of the lot."
The Baptists believed God's authority came from the people, not the
priesthood, and they had been persecuted for this belief.
It was they - the Baptists - who were instrumental in securing the
separation of Church and State. They knew you can not have a
"one-way-wall" that lets religion into government, but that does not let it out.
They knew no religion is capable of handling political power without becoming
corrupted by it. And, perhaps, they knew it was Christ himself who first
proposed the separation of Church and State;
"Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto the Lord that which is the
Lord's."

The Baptists were not impressed by the Deism of the Founding Fathers,
but since the Founding Fathers seemed to have a better dialogue with
them, the Baptists willingly took a more hands on approach with
separating Church from State, and not making the same mistakes
that Europe had, especially when considering the tyrannical nature
of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Gandhi
“I know of no one who has done more for humanity than Jesus. In fact,
there is nothing wrong with Christianity.” However, he added: “The trouble
is with you Christians. You do not begin to live up to your own teachings.”

"Christ Jesus, please save me from your followers!"


Friedrich Nietzsche
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way,
and the only way, it does not exist.”

“What labels me, negates me.”

(the hypocrisy of the above quote is nicely challenged by this one) -- “Only idiots
fail to contradict themselves three times a day.”

 “A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--
as attempts to find out something. Success and even failure, are for him
answers above all.”

“The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad, has made the world
ugly and bad.”

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed
by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened.
But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

“The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are
prevented from changing their opinions; they cease to be mind.”


God Bless America!
God
Bless the Founding Fathers
for their ingenuity, their integrity,

 and for their Age of Reason.

    The idea of heaven or some kind of afterlife spooks me a little...I think it comes from our fear of death and the unknown...it is foolish and arrogant for someone to believe they have inherited the right to 'eternal life'...anyone who claims they know what happens when we die is babbling idiot...(Only dead people know)...That being said, I DO get down on my knees and pray for God's tender mercy...although I do not deserve it...

    Tim, I am humbled by your comment for several reasons. It isn't for our frail human minds to believe in an inheritance or the right towards many things, let alone carve in stone the guidelines of eternity. One can have a pure relationship with God, without the man-made constructs; without many of the stagnant rituals and mortal enforcements.

    just read all the banter on the other blog! it never ceases to amaze me how steamed up people get about religion; religions are only belief systems at the end of the day, so arguing about them is futile...what people believe is based largely on their environment and upbringing, whatever part of the world they happen to live in, and the majority will just keep repeating what has been repeated to them, that's why you find entire families all subscribing to the same belief system and so it goes down through the generations, programming the children...

    Great comment. The irony, is my own hypocrisy of having a belief system. I have to be very careful not to program/mold a child's mind too strongly. Especially at a certain age, when a child's imagination is extremely strong....this is a time when the world is a 'magical' place for a child(as it should be), and using icons, archetypes and memes to enforce a specific belief system upon a child at this stage of mental growth, can be quite permanently counter-productive in the long run, no matter how good the intentions of the parent is. I understand people's desire to help coax their child "onto a path of moral righteousness and goodness"(the "best" path), but it can be very tricky business.

    Interesting blog and comments. I like Gandhi's quote. This is a subject I've personally been struggling with for a while. I read a blog the other day which reflects my feelings on this topic and says it well. It's too much to post here but I'll post it in another blog if anyone is interested. Thanks Chris for this information.

    This... is all I have to say: Modern religions, and old ones too, that profess to teach the Bible, teach only the letter of the law. and THAT is what their churches are founded upon. Even down to the belief in two or three verses, whole denominations are based upon that. and they Twist the meanings even of those few verses to their own desires. I suggest that THAT is not Christianity at all. Being raised Christian, there is one Good thing I can say about the teachings in the churches, and that is that they DO teach that when reading the Bible to let the Holy Spirit speak to you about the true meanings. Thus... an introduction to Spirit, that which is greater than ourselves. Hugs, Catie :)

    Yes, I forgot to include these quotes, which are two of my favourite quotes of Nietzshce's. Concerning the latter quote, God is beyond ego, and therefor beyond needs and wants, including the need and want of praise. The implications of this are more profoundly pertinent than some people might realize.

    1 )- I dont understand!! People are as entitled to their opinions as you are, as I am.We should allow them to express how they feel and let it be. And we should remember that it’s all "relative" and a matter of "perspective." What we consider positive can be perceived by another as negative. When we react, it becomes "me"-versus-"you," who is right? Nobody...

Again I agree with everything you have said but I'm just about the only choir your preaching to here, hey they just added Jesus as a category..god wasn't enough..ni Allah or Sky Father or Yahwah showing up any time soon either..they don't fit the demagraphic.

    The holiday/observances for Dec 6th: * Anniversary of the Founding of Quito (Ecuador) * Christian Feast Day: o Abraham of Kratia o Aemilianus (Roman Catholic Church) o Nicholas of Myra + Saint Nicholas Day, where St. Nicholas/Santa Claus leaves little presents in children's shoes. (International) + Christkind traditionally gives Christmas gifts on this day. (Central and Southern Europe) * Constitution Day (Spain) * Independence Day, celebrates the independence of Finland from Russia in 1917. * National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women (Canada)

    Well, I checked wot holiday observances were on December 5th: Christian Feast Day: o Abercius o Clement of Alexandria (Episcopal Church in the United States of America) o Sabbas the Sanctified * Discovery Day (Haiti and Dominican Republic) * Faunalia, in honor of Faunus (Roman Empire) * International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development (International) * Saint Nicholas Eve (Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Hungary, Romania, Poland and the UK) o Krampus (Austria) * The King's Birthday, National Day, and Father's Day (Thailand)

    Allah was added to the list. Yes, the windmills. I like Miquel de Cervantes. Of course, the holidays. Wot holiday was it on Dec 5th again, when this blog went up? It becomes difficult to keep track, since it almost seems as if every day is a holiday now, all year round. Dec 6th is St. Nicholas day in Europe? Wot about religious observations today?(a lot probably). I think slavery was abolished today in 1865. Kindness, yes, it is a good thing to work on....after this slice of history showcased in this blog. Possibly. Maybe you and Cyndi could figure out some sort of guideline to show wot topics and angles might be deemed offensive according to wot particular holiday is being celebrated on each day?

Aren't you the same one who recently cautioned the masses for what they share and not to insite the loonies then did a disappearing act? And I thought that "I" was Puck. Ha. You got me beat. Poking at Americans and Christianity in one large swoop, during the holiday season? Good luck with that :-P Me? I'm staying well away from this fray.

    Honestly, sometimes I can't help but wonder wot lies in-between your words. You know, inciting by merely mentioning not to incite -- a possible reverse psychology for those who are conditioned enough to react only after someone else leaves certain key words, etc. By offering a window into history, I am not "poking" my American friends, but hopefully offering different angles; different perspectives. And as for the 'holiday season', as I showed in the replies left on Debbie's comment above, every day of the year, there are holidays going on somewhere in the world. Maybe it is really you who wants to see such a "fray" unfold?
