Sorry to disappoint you... perhaps you've never actually taken an extensive tour of our nation's capital?... in addition to other colonial founding cities...
where there's overwhelming abundance of evidence, that directly contradicts what you're asserting here... indeed... it's literally all over the place; in the architecture, monuments & famous paintings, commissioned by the fledgling U.S. government
All the religiously themed architechture you see in Washington was commissioned during the Great Awakening. A time of religious revival following the Age of Enlightenment period of Americas Founding.
gee? wonder WHAT he meant by "endowed by Our Creator"?
amoebas? or monkeys? or maybe aliens? LOL!
During the Enlightenment, most learned men followed a deistic philosophy.
OOPS! OF COURSE those "documents" would be deemed as more important
than ANY architecture OR paintings OR monuments commissioned by the government...
especially by those who'd rather exchange the "OF" to have Freedom "FROM" Religion
Since the documents reflected the thinking of our most influential founders, yes, I would say they are more important in showing the influences of those founders than later architectural and artistic paintings.
so does his over-edited "Bible" list what choice he made? as to identifying the "Creator"?
The Jefferson Bible was written by Thomas Jefferson to reflect his admiration for the life and teachings of Jesus minus the miracles and "salvation" that he thought distracted from the lessons that could be learned.
I have a copy myself.
:sorry1:
to burst your bubble... but this conspicuously biased source of alleged "historical" information has been quite frequently posted by atheists all over the internet... this particular forum is but one of many, so this comes as :no: surprise whatsoever
although it's always kinda sad to read how it depicts Thomas Jefferson to be a such 2 faced phony which is WHY the FFR foundation promotes that persona so heavily... to undermine Religion by ANY means they deem necessary
As the son of an American History Professor, and an avid amateur historian myself, I can attest to the basic historicity you find so biased.
:sorry1: BUT the visual evidence (already listed) that WE ALL SAW with our own eyes made it pretty clear... as it's STILL openly displayed & readily available for anyone & everyone to see for themselves... & certainly NOT just in those extensive DC tours either
b.t.w... it's NOT as if I've ever denied the presence of other Religions... that were either already here or brought over by immigration & grown from there... in addition to all those who are unbelievers... since our Freedom OF Religion rights, allow ALL citizens to embrace or even reject whatever beliefs as they choose, okay?
:sorry1: if I honestly DO find it difficult to respect some of these FFR groups, because of their bigoted intolerance of any reference to Christian heritage... as they seem so hell bent upon either trivializing, outright denying, or erasing ANY evidence of it
If you're done ranting, perhaps you could provide some actual evidence of your accusations.
