Response to history's revisionists

This is in response to the letter from Judy Arenas in the Nov. 19 issue of the Daily Herald. She pulls a supposed quote from John Adams somewhere at the same time that allegedly says the U.S. government was not founded on the basis of the Christian faith. Here are three quotes from John Adams and to whom these letters were sent and when they were sent.

July 3, 1776 - A letter to his wife on celebrating Independence Day: "It ought to be commemorated as a day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty." He actually wanted July 2 rather than July 4 celebrated.

October, 1798 - to the Massachusetts Militia: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

June 28, 1813 - A letter to Thomas Jefferson: "Now I will avow that I then believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity, are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributed of god."

Judy Arenas also states that the Founding Fathers "were adamantly opposed against religion."

I will send multiples of quotes from them to the contrary every time historical revisionists try to state otherwise.
