Yes, and their belief in the Great Spirit did absolutely nothing to keep the white man from taking their lands, committing genocide on them, or putting everyone else on reservations.


Quote:Abraham Lincoln - Possible Deist, to my knowledge never pronounced faith in Christ.
Well, from what I've read of him, it's probably more accurate to state that he was a Christian who refused to belong to any church essentially because he thought any Christian creed beyond "love thy neighbor" was unnecessarily complicated.
To quote the man himself:
Quote:"I have found difficulty, without mental reservation, in giving my assent to their long and complicated confessions of faith. When any church will inscribe over its altar the Saviour's condensed statement of law and Gospel 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and will all thy mind, and love thy neighbor as thyself,' that church will I join with all my heart."

Quote:George Washington - Probably a deist who talked a lot about the divine hand or will, but scantily, if ever about Christianity.
Well, technically he was an Episcopalian, but other than that, your description was pretty accurate.

Well, I'm surprised you didn't mention one example of a religious US President who wasn't stupid about it; Theodore Roosevelt. He actually once wrote an open letter explaining why he thought the words "In God We Trust" shouldn't appear on legal tender: he thought it was an offense to God to put it on something as trivial as money.
