:::No, you did not win, unless we are to read those sites based in atheistic "freethinking". This website [http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=125] thoroughly researched the issue, and contains this pro-Christian statement from John Adams: ''The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were. . . . the general principles of Christianity. . . . I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God; and that those principles of liberty are as unalterable as human nature.''
