text: Christianity was the basis for the Revolution and the Dec of Indep. Law and jurisprudence grew out of belief in God as the Law Giver. Testimony was for centuries taken on swearing by and on the Bible. The morality of the Founders was based on Christianity and everyone who became a lawyer, read for the law with pastors and ministers. Harvard (Law School) was founded as a Christian University. NOT irrelevant at all but Foundational.
