One of the things I used to hear a lot growing up when discussing American history was how President's weren't Christians; that they were Deists.
It was a recocurring theme I'd see right up to my days in University. It became somewhat comical to listen to history students blather on in cocky intellectual confidence about it.
Yet, no one ever once mentioned that most of them were Episcopalian (which I believe the Bush's belong to. Dubya went Baptist) - a liberal oritented religion - or that none of the Fathers were hostile to Christianity or denounced it. They were skeptical of organized religion, yes, but hardly denied its importance or, more importantly, did they question God's authority.
Geez, this stuff is readily and accurately available and hardly up for discussion!
