Answer 1

1. Thomas Jefferson

"The Christian God is a being of terrific character -- cruel, vindictive, capricious, and unjust." [Thomas Jefferson, _Jefferson Bible_]

2. John Adams

"I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved--the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!" - John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson from George Seldes, The Great Quotations, also from James A Haught, ed., 2000 Years of Disbelief

3. Abraham Lincoln

"My husband is not a Christian but is a religious man, I think." [Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, in _Toward The Mystery_].


4. James Madison

"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution." - James Madison A Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments, addressed to the Virginia General Assemby, June 20, 1785

5. George Washington

"I have diligently perused every line that Washington ever gave to the public, and I do not find one expression in which he pledges, himself as a believer in Christianity. I think anyone who will candidly do as I have done, will come to the conclusion that he was a Deist and nothing more."
-- The Reverend Bird Wilson, an Episcopal minister in Albany, New York, in an interview with Mr. Robert Dale Owen written on November 13, 1831, which was publlshed in New York two weeks later, quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents, pp. 27

There you go...now my prize? Not to mention the man who named The USA. Thomas Paine

"'The Age of Reason' [by Thomas Paine] was responsible for making more people into infidels than any other book except the Bible." [Gordon Stein]

"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistant that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel." [Thomas Paine, "The Age of Reason"]


and founding father Benjamin Franklin

"My parents had early given me religious impressions, and brought me through my childhood piously in the dissenting [puritan] way. But I was scarce fifteen, when, after doubting by turns of several points, as I found them disputed in the different books I read, I began to doubt of Revelation itself. Some books against Deism fell into my hands; they were said to be the substance of sermons preached at Boyle's lectures. [Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was a British physicist who endowed the Boyle Lectures for defense of Christianity.] It happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the deists, which were quoted to be refuted, appeared to me much stronger than the refutations; in short, I soon became a thorough deist" [Benjamin Franklin, "Autoiography,"p.66 as published in The American Tradition in Literature, seventh edition (short), McGraw-Hill,p.180].

"The way to see by Faith is to shut the eye of Reason." [Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard, 1758]
