Fake Founding Fathers Quotes Examined

Were the Founders Atheists and Deists?
This study analyzes a number of quotations that commonly appear on atheist and politically liberal Web sites, and in books written by intellectual elites of academia, that purport to prove that the Founding Fathers were atheists, deists, agnostics, and otherwise irreligious individuals who had no attachment to Christianity and who intended for Christianity to have no part in the founding of the country.
FACT: Most of these quotes are either fabricated, manipulated, or taken completely out of context.
FACT: American society was built by men, the bulk of whom were highly moral, believed in Christian morality, and who integrated biblical principles into new government.
Alleged quotations by seven Founding Fathers are examined with a view toward ascertaining 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 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.”
