Read wikipedia, that shows that some of the founding fathers were deist. He said primary, and read my source.

THAT was a well informed answer?! Did you see my answer?
It's just another liberal "high five", nothing more than a crappy rant.

Jeopardy had a question this week regarding Amercian history, and who said that there should be a Bible and a newspaper in every house. It was Benjamin Franklin. Several quotes of founding fathers regarding the Bible, God, and religion are listed here:
http://www.constitutional.net/qff.html
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.
It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
- George Washington
And here is the whole quote from Ben Franklin:
"A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district- all studied and appreciated as they merit -
are the principle support of virtue, morality, and civil liberty."
- Benjamin Franklin; March 1778

The Left thrives on distortion and lies.
It's not their fault though, liberalism IS a mental disorder.
Check out the "answers" to my question:
'Judeo/Christianity and America’s foundations - Which statement is most correct?
The vast majority of the writings of America’s founding fathers and the United States of America’s Declaration of Independence and Constitution were influenced and inspired primarily by the writings associated with or contained within:'

The second I see someone Wikipedia as their source of "facts", I move on.

yes you do
wikipedia is an amazingly inaccurate site for such things like that
if you want to know geography or something like that it works well
but when a person's religion is called into question like so, you can not trust an encyclopedia made by the average joe with absolutely no ramifications if they are wrong

Is it just me, or am I the only one who finds people who cut and paste really long lists of supposed "facts" which they didn't write (and we have no way of knowing if they are true or not) annoying.
Summarise a bit, please!!!

I'm not sure how what is in a history book qualifies as making up facts... but ok.

Facts are by definition not made up.

No, you're entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.
However, you seem to have linked to a question where the asker used actual, rather than invented, facts.

What was made up? That's absolutely correct.
