Get your hands around a 32-33 degree Mason's book and read it.

Our founding fathers--many of whom were Masons, etc.--were Deitist, a la Thomas Paine's writings. Besides Christianity, they studied other religions of powerful civilzations of the past--paganism if you will. The Egyptian, Persian & Greek pantheon was not below their contemplation and study.

Otherwise, the consensus of the Christian churches and Rome did not suck the brains out of their heads and turn them into puppets, thereof. 48 million + Americans need a heads up on this one. They are drunk on their power and frevor.

I hope someone from FOX news reads this.
