    The founding fathers were deists, they believed in a single God that created the Earth and then left us to our devices. Jefferson actually rewrote the Bible without Jesus being divine, there are no miracles, nor is The Resurection present. Washington almost never took communion and on his death a close friend of his when asked about Washington's religion said "Sir, Washington was a deist." Franklin is quoted as saying (to paraphrase), I read a book against deism, the more I read though the more drawn to deism I became.

    Moving on to rabid nationalism:
    Oh yes, the people that formed the most powerful nation in the world which has saved europes ass more then once were terrorist. Would you rather speak german or russian?
    Of course they were terrorists. Define terrorism "the use of force to sway a government, civilian population, or institution" hell we started a war, against the British Army. That's terrorism, terrorism for a just cause, but terrorism.
