LOL  Wow- Wikipedia and sNOPEs:  Neither one legitimate sources, but whatev:  Critical reading: It's your friend.

You ever been to the SCOTUS biuilding?  No, of course not. Let me help you out: MOSES is literally front and center on the Eastern pediment:  the 10 Commandments are literally engraved in wood directly above where the Justices sit.  LOL.  Those pesky facts...

From sNOPES: "Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher ... whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.
Congress has indeed retained paid (Christian) chaplains since 1789 to open sessions with prayer and to provide spiritual guidance to members and their staffs upon request."

whoops.

And yep- Deists *ARE* the same thing as Christian- they follow Christ and his teachings. Christ drove the source of all inalienable rights for our Founders, and the historical and empirical evidence is overwhelmingly clear that they based their freedom and this country on his teaching.
