So, I call false, unless you can provide evidence.
Second. I don't care what religion or lack of it the framers practiced in their lives. They did not include it in the Constitution, the only mention of it BANS it from government. If they were practicing Christians, why would they do that? That means to me, that ANYONE promoting religion in the government is anti-constitution.
Just saying...
I will leave it to smarter people here who have already debunked this too do it again.

I see, if you can't find it, then it's false?
Show me where in the Constitution it "BANS" religion from the government. Maybe you read it differently? It "bans" the establishment of a gov based religion or the free exercise of it. Guess someone missed the part where Congress starts their session with a prayer. But, that don't count, right?
It is not the Constitution that bans religion from anything. It was uncomfortable powers that be that continue to ban religion from everything. Not going any further because I do not wish to have my "thoughts" misconstrued and get punished on here.
