Actually, _all_ of the Founders were Masons. Tim Bob says check it out.

The eye and the pyramid. The original inscription on money: "In fnord we
trust."

They adopted Xtianity as a cover. They actually worshipped Ra and Set.

There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.

Correct.  Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and others were Deists, and
Masons, and would have laughed hysterically at the absurd notion of the
divinity of Jesus Christ.

In fact, Jefferson once attributed the large mass of Christian theological
writings to the fact that "Nonsense can never be explained."

It is most entertaining that in spite of these undisputed historical
facts, the modern day Christian FunnyMentalists continue to spew forth the
revisionist notions that the Founding Fathers were Christians, and that
the United States was founded as a "Christian Nation."

Well, Unitarians like to claim Jefferson, because of a nice letter he wrote
to Joseph Priestly. Of course, we like to claim *all* the cool people...

Agreed.

Of course, exactly how a self-proclaimed congenital Republican small-"a"
crypto-anarchist like me got to be a Unitarian, well, only, um, God, knows.

She must be laughing somewhere...

Bah, why do you think most UNIX shells have the command SET in them?  All
variables are under Set's influence!  setenv's just Set's son. :)
