Fake Founding Father Quotes Examined

Fake Founding Father Quotes Examined by Dave Miller, Ph.D. This book analyzes several quotations from atheist and politically liberal Web sites. The quotations supposedly prove that the Founding Fathers were atheists and deists. They allege that the Founders intended for Christianity to have no part in the founding of the country. Typical quotations by seven Founding Fathers are examined to ascertain whether the quotes are “faked”—including: John Adams: “This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.” John Adams: “The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion.” James Madison: “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.” Thomas Jefferson: “Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.” Thomas Jefferson: “History, I believe furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government.” Benjamin Franklin: “Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.” But the quotes are “fake.”   Copyright 2020, 125 pages, paper
