Title: Don't go to Barton for your history lessons!
Review: Barton makes the bold assertion that the founders never really intended for there to be a hard separation between church in state. Instead, Barton argues that the country was founded as a Christian nation, and that the framers meant to establish a government where government leaders would continually consult Christian leaders (presumably people like Barton).Barton also makes the odd claims that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergymen. Only one of the 56 was an active clergyman, and that was John Witherspoon. Witherspoon was a Presbyterian minister and president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).Only 1.79% of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence were clergy. Does Barton actually think that 1.79% qualifies as most?Or is Barton (as so many REAL historians have judged him) a historic revisionist and shameless liar?
