America: Designed with Godly Intent, 2
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Fri, Jul 04, 2008
A legacy of faith is clearly evident in the writing of America's Founding Fathers. "It's not the Constitution that will keep America great. What will keep America great is if we obey what God has told us in the Scriptures," said William Patterson ? an American general in the Revolutionary War and a signer of the U.S. Constitution. David Barton of WallBuilders looks at the First Amendment to the Constitution and its critical role in maintaining religious freedom in our nation's homes, schools and workplace.
"Ben Franklin is one of the absolute least religious of the Founding Fathers ? [but] when I go into secular universities and the law schools, I love to take nothing but the writings of Franklin and Jefferson because just out of their writings, I can make these two guys look like a couple of Bible-thumping evangelicals." ? David Barton

"[The First Amendment] says, 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' Very clearly, there is no separation phrase ? it's just absolutely not there." ? David Barton
