Atheist American Founders, and president?

I've read many times that some of the founders of the U.S. may have been atheists. Well, which one's? What evidence is there for that? Of those I speak of, this includes all those who participated and played a part in the formation of the Constitution. I've also read that Abraham Lincoln may have been an atheist. I have doubts about this claim. I did a search on Google recently for a biography on Abraham Lincoln, and the first site listed, if memory serves, contained two quotes by Abraham Lincoln in which he mentions God.

There's this wonderful function called a "sticky" And there is a "sticky" at the top of the SLAM forum titled "America vs Religion + Awesome Founding Father Quotes".

Perhaps the answers you seek lie there?

Heh, I remember that thread. That's where a couple of TrekBBS dorks started their illustrious careers, if memory serves.

Anyway, thread locked for now. But please, check out that thread; chock full of good stuff.
