'''Benjamin Franklin'''(1706-1790) was one of the [[Founding Fathers]]. He was never [[President]], but he was [[ambassador]] to [[France]], and also he is on the $100 dollar bill.

Some historians claim that Benjamin Franklin was a [[Deism|deist]] rather than a Christian.  But although Franklin wrote widely, he rarely made statements associated with principles of Deism.  Instead, Franklin proposed saying prayers at the [[Constitutional Convention]]. At most 5% of the Founding Fathers were deists and historians tend to exaggerate this number in an attempt to deny the Christian basis for the United States.
