This is Prager's response to all the flack, for anyone interested in reading it. The link was emailed to me after I wrote to him, voicing my displeasure with his earlier comments.
A selected quote from the rather long response:
Quote:
You don't have to be Christian to acknowledge that the Bible is the source of America's values. Virtually every founder of this country knew that and acknowledged it. The argument that founders such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were deists, even if accurate (it is greatly exaggerated), makes my point, not my opponents'. The founders who were not believing Christians venerated the Bible as the source of America's values just as much as practicing Christians did.
