America the Christian Nation Part 5: Other US Presidents

"Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated." — George Washington

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." — Abraham Lincoln

"Keep the church and state forever separate" — Ulysses S. Grant

"I do not believe in the divinity of Christ, and there are many other of the postulates of the orthodox creed to which I cannot subscribe." — William Howard Taft

"I hold that in this country there must be complete severance of Church and State; that public moneys shall not be used for the purpose of advancing any particular creed; and therefore that the public schools shall be nonsectarian and no public moneys appropriated for sectarian schools." — Theodore Roosevelt

"The public schools shall be free from sectarian influences and, above all, free from any attitude of hostility to the adherents of any particular creed." — Franklin D. Roosevelt

"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute...where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference -- and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him." — John F. Kennedy

"The founders of our nation were nearly all Infidels, and that of the presidents who had thus far been elected [Washington; Adams; Jefferson; Madison; Monroe; Adams; Jackson] not a one had professed a belief in Christianity..." — Rev. Bird Wilson, 1831


Ask yourself, what can you believe from someone who openly decieves you?
