It is important to recognize that America was not founded as a Christian nation. While some of the Founding Fathers were Christian, others were Deist, and some were nominal believers but ultimately held secular beliefs. This diversity of religious beliefs among the Founding Fathers reflects the principle of religious freedom that is enshrined in the Constitution. The United States was founded on the idea of separation of church and state, allowing individuals to practice their own faith without interference from the government. This principle has been a cornerstone of American democracy and has contributed to the country's cultural and religious diversity.
The influence of biblical principles and teachings on the political thought of the Founding Fathers, even those who were secular or nearly secular, cannot be overstated. The values and moral framework provided by the Bible played a significant role in shaping their views on governance, justice, and individual rights. These principles were often cited and referenced in their writings and speeches, demonstrating the enduring impact of biblical teachings on the formation of the United States' political system.
