Many were. Ben Franklin in particular even wrote about his Deist belilefs.
George Washington was claimed by one of his friends, Dr. Abercrombie, to have been an open deist.
Thomas Paine, writer of Common Sense, was known to have held deist ideals. If you ask me - and this is just opinion, if the nation was founded on any one set of beliefs, it was the beliefs of the freemasons.

There were 74 delegates/founding fathers at the constitutional convention
We have the founding fathers to keep everthing in order. They keep the united states in order and they know what is going on. They fix problems. Check history.com for more trust point please.
The founding fathers of the United States declared all men are created equal.They further declared men were endowed by their creator with the rights of life,liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Answer:Thomas Jefferson declared himself to be a Deist. Others, such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine and perhaps George Washington, are believed to have been Deists but made no open declaration of religious belief.
What is meant by "the Founding Fathers were men of their time"
Deism is a rational, naturalistic (non-revelatory) approach to belief in the Ultimarte Creator. A product of Humanism, many of the US Founding Fathers were Deists.
Deist. Deists believe god created the world then stepped back. He does not intervene in the world today. Incidentally the founding fathers of America where deists, not Christians.
There were no Muslim signers. However many of the founding fathers were Deists. This means while they believed in a higher power they did not follow the Christian church.
I would think it is mostly the other way around, except maybe historical revisionism, which both sides are guilty of. The intent of the founding Fathers was a secular republic as the Constitution makes clear to anyone not deluded. We have no religious foundations to this country and many, if not most of the founding Fathers were deists and far from religious.
Christians! They came to America to worship their God in freedom and peace. Many of the Founding Fathers, however, were Deists who believed in God but not necessarily in any particular religion.
I think on 1943
In the US, our founding fathers.

A:Deism, a popular belief among the educated elite during the Age of Enlightenment, holds that there is a creator God but that after creating the world, he took no further interest in his creation. Deists see no point in worshipping God. Some of the United States Founding Fathers, notably Thomas Jefferson, were Deists.
I would ask Americas founding fathers, how they became Americas founding fathers? Also why did they sign the deceleration of independence? Lastly why do we have founding fathers?

No, you do not have to believe in miracles to believe in God. Some of America's Founding Fathers were deists. Deists believe that the creator God, having created the world, takes no further interest in his creation and performs no miracles. Of course, the fact that miracles do not really happen is more naturally aligned with a belief that there is no God at all.
