Great article. Bookmarked.

"In describing Christian America, Benjamin Franklin observed: "Atheism is unknown there. Infidelity is rare and secret; so that persons may live to a great age in that country without having their piety shocked by meeting with either Atheist or an Infidel."

I'm afraid Ben Franklin wouldn't recognize America today.

Considering how much strange Ben Franklin was getting his remarks about infidelity are pretty odd.
