I skimmed thru it. It says 'the year of the Lord' was not in the Washington and early drafts. Then Franklin wanted a date and the witnesses to sign. Madison and the convention committee came up with  notes for the intro.  The final notes had the date  then scribbled '&c--- " after it,.  They hired a calligraphy guy and the script was written and shown to all and approved and then added.   Basically the article sides that how the words got there is meaningless and up to interpretation. Its basic argument is that the Constitution is not a 'Christain manifesto'  We all agree with that. It does however give evidence that all, saw it read it and approved the words, before it was added .

That's my point. In fact, not even remotely close to that. Now tell that to the millions of whacko wingers that think otherwise.

It does imply that the majority of the authors were Christians.

"Implies." Sure. Makes it all the more interesting that they kept any reference to Christ or Christianity out of it. Very purposeful. NOT a Christian nation, not a theocracy.

Which has been the point all along.  He just can’t handle that white Christian men created something as magnificent as America.  It bothers him that they figured it out before anyone else did.  Any other sex.  Any other race. Any other religion.   It tears him apart

It was very smart of those white Christian men to think of the bigger picture and the future.  It’s similar to how the first couple of Amendments were written.  To cover the future that they couldn’t predict.

Yet they wrote them because they could predict human behavior.

They didn't anticipate a President that would just ignore judges orders and a congress that wouldn't stand up to a 100% corrupt and 200% incompetent president.

Funding Fathers significantly overrated. They were slave owners who only wanted white men to be able to vote. Revolutionary War was a power grab that left the avg person worse off.

Given 250 years of inflation, they didn't need that much money back then!

Our founding or funding fathers were brilliant white, mostly Christian, men that created an empire
