<< > Yeah, they would. Most of our forefathers weren't Christians... >>

Maybe "not Christian" by born-again current stats, but some of the
denominations now in the business of saying who's not Christian (and they
often start with Catholics on the "not Christian" list) weren't even in
existence when many of the religious-freedom-seeking Europeans came here in
colonial days.

I'm glad Johanna has these stats, because I was thinking it was
all-but-a-few-WERE too.

<<My understanding is that of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence, out of 55 men, more than 40 were members of
their church, declared to be Christian, a few attended church regularly but
had not declared membership and only 3 or 4 were not Christian.>>

But what Rachel literally said was "forefathers." If we go back far enough,
NOBODy was Christian, so I'm going to assume she meant of the United States.
