founding deists

An adult who believes in Noah's Ark and its story as flat, historical fact is a simpleton, at least in that regard: the quality of the simpleton's lawyering or blacksmithing or parenting need not be questioned.

But this is not the person around which to build a society that needs soundness of intellect at its base. There probably never was such a society, nor need of one. But show me a people who understand the value and beauty - the glory and the cruelty - of the Ark, the dove, the grapevine. Show me them, untainted by credulity, and I will show you a rock on which a nation may be built.
