Some people make assumptions that just because all of the founding fathers of the U.S. weren’t orthodox Christians that Jesus was not important to them. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Gary DeMar takes examples of what the founding fathers said to show how Jesus and Christianity was not only important, but also very prominent in the founders’ thinking and methods.

A question for you Mr. DeMar: Do you believe that Jesus was God or the Son of God? The reason I ask this is because I've always seen this argument put forth as "The Founding Fathers and God".
I really appreciate how you share America's Christian Heritage. Christianity has no need to exaggerate or puff our position. The facts speak for themselves and critics, more often than not, are the ones that aren't doing their homework. Just like in Romans 1, folks have a nasty habit of suppressing the Truth, because it is just a little too uncomfortable for them. Solution: come to terms with Jesus on His terms!
