Arguably: Selected Essays by Christopher Hitchens

5.0

"Why should we care what the Founding Fathers believed, or did not believe, about religion? They were to such great trouble to insulate faith from politics, and took such care to keep their own convictions private, that it would scarcely matter if it could now be proved that, say, George Washington was a secret Baptist. The ancestor of the American Revolution was the English Revolution of the 1640s, whose leaders and spokemen were certainly Protestant fundamentalists, but that did not bind the Framers and cannot be said to bind us, either."
