Our own (which is to say Beliefnet’s) founder, Steven Waldman, has written a new book about our nation’s founders, Founding Faith. In it, he discusses the faiths of the various thinkers who shaped our Constitution and debunks certain myths about those thinkers. Think the U.S. was designed to be a “Christian Nation”? Think most of the founders were largely secular or deists? Think again, because the truth is far more complicated and far more interesting.
