Of course in 1776 our Founders were Liberal, the true liberals who wanted Freedom to set up a New type of government of men, but the majority were either Christian or respected Biblical principles, so they designed a system for a religious and moral framework, that would never work if the majority of citizens were pagan. (either you believe in the Bible God or you are one of many versions of PAGAN).- Today, and most of my lifetime, I graduated high school 1948, the American Liberal was trying to lead America away from and out of our original “under God” government. By 2014, they had largely succeeded by brainwashing the government school system students with omitting true US history and eliminating God and Bible and school choice.-The Christian Conservatives since 1950 have tried to recover our Godly Heritage, and are trying to correct nation-killing errors done by Libertines who falsely call themselves “liberals”!-George Washington came from a father and mother who were Christian and taught him at home and taught him well.Abe Lincoln sought to educate himself and became a lawyer before he ran for political office. In America’s 1700s and 1800s educated parents (example Democrat Wm.J.Bryan of Ilinois) taught English and Latin and Greek and it was a better education than any liberal public classroom ever provided.-Washington’s faith helped him lead the Revolutionary Army, the odds were heavily against a victory, but he spend much time on his knees seeking God’s help in the war. No chaplain could be found for 2 years of the war, so Washington himself was the regular Chaplain. When our government began, the first thing Congress did was to order an edition of the Bible from the government printing office.Christian teaching for Indians was a priority, funded by the government. Christian services were held in government buildings. The First Amendment for religion was practiced by the early Congresses. Congress created a Chaplain office for its own sessions.-(to immediately “free slaves” in 1787 would have broken the new government and possibly started a new civil war! And slaves freed without public sentiment favorable to helping them start new lives of independence were in more trouble than when working as slaves. But God helped America change attitude and the 1860s war did bring freedom to slaves descended from the Africans brought to this land long before the war of independence.)
