Description:
Our nation's fathers have always been portrayed as pious Christians who wanted the entire society of the United States to be Christian. In "The Faiths of Our Fathers, author Alf Mapp reveals how this is grossly untrue. He tells the reader that George Washington, for instance, never declared himself a Christian, and Benjamin Franklin was vocal about being a Deist. James Madison was undeniably unreligious and once said that "religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise." Complete with 11 full profiles. "The Faiths of Our Fathers dispells the religious myths of our country's founding and reveals the fascinating and somewhat shocking truths.
