When it comes to the religious views of the fathers of the country, people are quick to claim that most of them were not christians, but rather deists, but when it comes to slave owners they want to claim that they were all christians. Probably some who claimed to be christians owned slaves and some of them were just not christians. It also means that 98.6 to 98.4 percent of the population did not own slaves at all be they christians or not. How many non-christians supported slavery at the time?
Well, your bible says that slavery is A-OK. So I think it's safe to say that Christianity was pretty pro-slavery. Some Christians like to believe it's not. But while Christians may have had something to do with ending slavery (At least in America)--CHRISTIANITY did not.
