The prominent Founding Fathers shared her views.

I can't think of one who was an atheist. I can think of several who were Deists.

Is that what you mean ?

Deism was a politically-correct form of Atheism, for the time.

See the quotes I posted.

It certainly wasn’t Christianity, with the very divinity of Christ being denied.

"I can't think of one who was an atheist. I can think of several who were Deists." As Ed McMahon might have said, "Yes sir, you are correct!"

For instance, Jefferson fits the bill as a Deist, but certainly not as an atheist.
