    The founding fathers had diverse beliefs. Even if they had been far right Christians, that certainly doesn’t say anything about the world today.

    Just like it used to be that Muslim scholars were some of the leading scientific and mathematical minds in the world, but that was the past. It doesn’t mean anything today.

    Probably the stupidest idea, though, is to call the founding fathers “Nationalists.” They rebelled against their nation.
