are mission is to figure out all of the religions of the 50 state govenors weve done the founding fathers its important to do all of the state governors to cause ive found several governors of delaware that were very religious

1.its supposed to be the bible and the constitution 2.were supposed to pledge our alligence to under god and not a flag 3.were supposed to fear god not man

also another lie is that thomas paine was an atheist he believed in the one god and final judgement at the end of time

so franklin jefferson thomas paine were very religious not sure about ethan allan
