- The Faiths of the Founding Fathers is a book by historian of American religion David L. Holmes of the College of William & Mary. Holmes approaches the topic of the religion of the founders of the United States by analyzing their public statements and correspondence, the comments left by their contemporaries, and the views, where available, of clergy who knew them. The main thesis of the book, found on page 134, is that the among the U.S. Founding Fathersthe smallest group were founders who had become adherents of the Enlightenment intellectual movement "Deism". These figures included Thomas Paine and Ethan Allen while many founders remained practicing Christians and retained a supernaturalist world view, a belief in the divinity of Jesus Christ, and an adherence to the teachings of their denomination. These founders included Patrick Henry, John Jay, and Samuel Adams. Holmes found that most of the wives and daughters of the founders fell into this category. They believed in divine providence inherent in Christianity. (en)
