Nearly 100 years later. How many of those "all" christian Founding Fathers were still around at that time?

It was officially adopted as the phrase to appear on every coin in the 1950's. So Brain, apparently it's been in use in this country for a long, long time.
Actually 57 years is less than 1/4th of the time our country has been in existence.

Still doesn't support your false belief that all of the founding fathers were christian, does it?

It means something to a lot of people and it looks like that they were apparently the founders of this country. If you don't like it, don't spend the money.
I have no desire to change the phrase, remove it, or affect/alter it in any way, shape, or form....I'm a conservative.

The argument is that all of the Founding Fathers were not christian and you have failed miserably at proving that they were (if you even remember that WAS the point)
