re: #50 RogueOne

I base the deist ascertain on the fact that many of the founders were freemasons, and freemasonry at that point had changed from a distinctly Christian organization to a deistic one early that century (1720ish). Now some otherwise solid Christians were also masons, but that was always a tension that many churches (to this day) have tried to address. Washington always spoke of a generic deity, and even if other founders spoke of “Christianity” they generally meant its morals and not its theological distinctives. That’s makes it so confusing to so many, Christians included.
