After reading the fifth incorrect reference to Jefferson, Henry, and Franklin, I decided to delete the whole ignorant jumble of misreferenced quotes and inform you all that I'm tired of my students getting their answers from you instead of me and their course texts.
Stop answering people's questions online when you have no idea what you are talking about. If someone reposts the deleted text without correcting the errors in it, that person is resting on the assumption that false information is better than no information.

"That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."- Virginia Bill of Rights
Leviathan
"LIBERTY, or freedom, signifieth properly the absence of opposition (by opposition, I mean external impediments of motion); and may be applied no less to irrational and inanimate creatures than to rational."-Thomas Hobbes (Leviathan 1651)
Concerning Human Understanding
"By liberty, then, we can only mean a power of acting or not acting, according to the determinations of the will; this is, if we choose to remain at rest, we may; if we choose to move, we also may. Now this hypothetical liberty is universally allowed to belong to every one who is not a prisoner and in chains. Here, then, is no subject of dispute."-David Hume (Concerning Human Understanding)
Second Treatise on Government
"The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but to have only the law of nature for his rule."- John Lock (Second Treatise on Government)

It depends upon who you ask and how they define 'founding fathers.'

Most all people living in the 18th Century and coming from Western Europe, read the Bible - and most did so regularly. Children did so in school and were taught at home to read it. Getting a College/University degree in 'Christian Studies' to reflect this was not the norm amongst the founders.
