Certain of the United States Founding Fathers were deists, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and possibly George Washington. Since deists believed that God created the world but then took no further part in his creation and does not answer prayers, it is hard to think of deists as religious in the normal meaning of the word.

As an example of the ethical, non-religious thinking of some of the Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson wrote a small book popularly known as the Jefferson Bible. He copied moral instructions from the New Testament, but eliminated everything that related to miracles or suggested that Jesus was divine.

Why is the American religious experience considered uniquely American?

The American religious experience is a unique interpretation of America's rich religious history. It is a unique experience to grapple with because America is one of the few nations that does not have a nationalized religion. America is one of the few liberal nations has no restrictions on intermixed or inter-religious marriages, inter-denominational and multi-cultural views, concepts and beliefs. These freedoms were fought for by our forefathers makes the American religious experience unequally American. -kevin
