"One of the embarrassing problems for the early nineteenth-century champions of the Christian faith was that not one of the first six Presidents of the United States was an orthodox Christian." --The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1968, p. 420 |
"The bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma." "My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them." |
