Yea but the founding of America was shaped by Christian moral truths. Of course it wasn’t a theocracy but understand that Christian ethos were involved.

No it wasn’t

The foundations of common law predate Christianity, the western legal traditions that American draws from are graeco-Roman in origin

And remember, the American colonists were largely anti-episcopal

In other words, explicitly rejecting religious legal framework

The founders were not simply “deist” they were deist Christians if you actually look at what they believed in it is very clear that there dedication to Christianity was clear in their own mind.

False

Thomas Jefferson even said he doubted the divinity of Christ

I thought it was a combination of freedom of religion and speech

Yes freedom from the Episcopalian anglicans

Christianity did have an involvement in the creation of America.

It did not

Cite your source

but then again, each amendment is different and the government did create itself again (continental congress)

Deists reject the idea of a god that cares about individual mortal dealings and dictating morality

To say that they were “Christian deists” still rejects the legal framework as Christian

Yea it means their dedication to Christianity was clear in his own mind.

There is a difference.

Whose own mind

That’s not what deism means

Whew

I been threw a ringer

Christian deists consider themselves to be disciples, or students, of Jesus because Jesus taught the natural laws of God. But Christian deists believe that Jesus was only human.

Uh no

Where did you learn that

It’s literally their in the definition. Clearly your an atheist of course you wouldn’t know jack about religion if you can’t associate your self with it and see for your self the interpretations it has.

It doesn’t make sense to me that you are denying any religious involvement ever existed.

In the founding process.

Here is the definition of deism:

belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe. The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries that accepted the existence of a creator on the basis of reason but rejected belief in a supernatural deity who interacts with humankind.

So your definition is not “the literal definition”

Which is why I asked where you learned it

Christian deism is similar to that but believe in moral Christian values taught by Christ.

They didn’t believe Christ was supernatural they would say he was human instead.

That is not accurate

Where did you learn that?

You are using the word deism and not (Christian deism)

They are not the exact same they have different interpretations of the word deism.

not all governments are official christian tho

GG @3v6en8, you just advanced to level 2!

I know what they mean
