That is what we are telling you, don't look at the speeches, the
writings for public viewing, watch their actions. Jefferson may have
very well have believed in a deity, but be assured he did not believe
in churches, or the men who ran them, as none of the founders did, and
they made sure the churches had no say in the government. For very
good reasons. Religion and government are like oil and water, they
just don't mix, then or now. Regards, Ken Hogan
