1) OK, so you are not nearly as well read concerning our Founding Fathers as you think you are. No surprise there. If you do some real research you will discover this as well as their take on religion. You must read and study a lot more.
2) Your disagreement on my assessment of religion in Europe doesn’t hold much value with statements like these. For one thing it’s not my assessment. It is common knowledge among historians. Thousands of people moved from area to area, country to country for better conditions within Europe all during the 1300 through 1700’s (far more than ever came to the New World in the same period), including for religious tolerance or freedom. Again, your knowledge is quite limited. This is not revision, it is simple fact. The records are all there, just waiting for you to read and research. And by the way, please explain how Lutherans, Protestants, etc. in Germany, France, Norway, Denmark, Anglican in England, etc., show how few choices were available to Europeans. Again, your statements are easily shown as patently false.
I have pointed you in the right direction as to further understanding of these issues. But I will not do the work for you.

Wow. I think you may have out done yourself. So many errors, so little time. I'll just quickly point out a couple of the more glaring, then I'll leave you alone.
Simply put, Protestant=Lutheran=Protestant. Martin Luther, and a few of his colleagues, began the Protestant movement. They were one and the same. Your seperation of the two speaks volumes. Have you had any religious training whatsoever? It doesn't show.
Europeans did regularly move about in an effort to find a better life. No one disputes that. That they succeeded to their satisfaction is disputable. The ones that did not, and had the means and the gumption to do so, came here. Yes, that is common knowledge among historians. You have managed to take that common knowledge and garble it just a bit in your own understanding of it. You leave some important parts out as they relate to the New World.
Lastly, are you going to cough up the details on this re-written Bible? You are not playing by your own rules; you demand references and documentation from others. Now you are going to hide behind "If you do some real research you will discover this as well as their take on religion."? Please. You have long since blown your credibility on this forum with your unsupported statements. I guess this just adds to the list. Does your mother know you are on the internet again?
