All of the founding fathers were practicing protestants.
Benjamin Franklin was a protestant?
The main writing and ideology behind the revolutionary war was borne out of deism. Thomas Jefferson , James Madison , and Benjamin Franklin identified as not being religious. Franklin would consider himself Christian but that a man of good morals and will has fulfilled the main requirement of being a good "christian".
Thomas Jefferson was largely affected by Deism and so was Madison.
Most of the founding fathers were established men who had educated themselves and had taken interest in the deist philosophy.
