The Bible??? The framers and top founders were not Christians. Read the Age of Reason by Thomas Paine to get an understanding of what our framers thought of the Bible… the foundation of our Republic is built upon Greek and Roman principles, and has nothing to do with the Bible. Many of our framers found the Bible to be an evil book, and Christianity to be a silly, mythological religion… No, I’m not a liberal, just a person who’s into historical truth.
