I was taught in college that all the Founding Fathers were atheists.

I don't think any were actually athiests but there were many "diests".

As for most being ministers...well, only one was an active minister at the time of signing but several studied to be ministers(Sam Adams, John Adams, Robert Sherman, and William Williams to name just a few).

On a side note durring my little investigation into our founding fathers I discovered that Josia Bartlett was married to his first counsin........so the famed President Bartlett was a product of inbreeding
