You should have kept reading. From your same article:

Regardless…it’s clear we were not founded as a Christian nation.
By stating y
in case anyone wants to argue that the founding fathers were Christians
QUNI88 IMPLIED that NONE were Christian.

I intentionally just did the exact opposite of by stating
in case anyone wants to argue that the Founding fathers weren‘t Christians
even though only some didn’t hold Christian beliefs or didn‘t practice Christianity.

If he had said
in case anyone wants to argue that the Founding Fathers were ALL Christians
I wouldn’t have said anything because not all were.

The fact is most PRACTICED Christianity. I know practicing and actuality are 2 diff things.
Regardless…it’s clear we were not founded as a Christian nation.
True, but we were founded on Judeo Christian principles.
ChatGPT says:
The statement "in case anyone wants to argue that the founding fathers were Christians" does not necessarily imply that none of the Founding Fathers were Christian. Instead, it suggests skepticism or a challenge to the blanket claim that all or most of them were devout Christians in a traditional sense.

This kind of phrasing is often used to introduce a counterpoint or to question an oversimplified narrative. In reality, the religious beliefs of the Founding Fathers varied widely—some were devout Christians, others were Deists, and many held complex views that combined Enlightenment thinking with varying degrees of religious belief.

So, the phrase implies doubt about a broad generalization, not a categorical denial.

And despite what the left says, the US was founded on Judeo Christian principles, and Christianity has always been by far the #1 religion in terms of % of the population.

ChatGPT is right and you're wrong.

Who on the left or anywhere is saying the US wasn't founded on Judeo Christian principles or that Christianity hasn't always been by far the #1 religion in terms of % of the population? If you're going to argue that that justifies including the Bible in education then you also need to include the Torah to cover the Judeo aspect.

Regardless, it doesn't change the FACT that the US is not and has never been a Christian nation. The Founding Fathers designed it that way intentionally so that the government couldn't force religious views upon someone. People should be FREE to worship or nor worship as they please. Anything else is as UNCONSTITUTIONAL as taking away someone's right to bear arms.

Wrong. Your OP implied none of the FF was Christian.

I never argued it was a Christian nation. Reading is fundamental.

Its amazing that anyone in America would ever question this.

If you know the pledge of allegiance. In any form it tells you what the FF intended and how they felt. Christianity was the dominant religion among the colonists, and its influence is evident in various aspects of American culture and governance.
