I am coming from a different place than you think. My disdain for communists and big government is well above bible thumpers. They are all trash imo either way. However, I would argue with you on who you believe the founders to be. It was gnostics who founded this country. More specifically, Rosecrutions. This can be debated, but easier for you to look it up. Whether you agree with their beliefs or not, it is fascinating. They believed in the creator. But I assure you, they did not believe in the Bible. Which scorns our progress, and whose followers leech off our progress. Read Jefferson quotes. While you find him declaring rights from God. He was not the desert God everyone wars over. The "God" of the old testament is the enemy of enlightenment. The New testament is no better. It robs you of your power. They were not bible thumpers, nor communists. They were the greatest group of patriots ever. And they did not follow that grand old idiot yhwh.
