Quote:the Pilgrims arrived just prior to the Enlightenment movement.

Yet they were just one colony. Most of the others were commercial in nature at their founding.

Even so, just because people begin one way does not mean they are required to never grow. Not everyone is a fundie lunatic.

For so many separate colonies to come together to form one country there had to have been some sort of separation of church and state. Yes the colonies were commercial in nature but, generally speaking, not pluralistic in religion. We are dealing with a society that saw irreconcilable differences in minor points of doctrine. Separate denominations might as well have been separate religions for most of them. It wasn't that long ago that some denominations honestly believed that other denominations were bound for hell.

If the founding fathers intended this country to be a Christian country that general term meant little to those who practiced Christianity back then. It's the flavor of Christianity that mattered.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
