Does anyone have a link/site that would identify the faiths and/or religions of the founding fathers? I was debating a devote christian who stated that 52 of the 55 FF were christians and I disagreed. Any links would be helpful. Thanks.

If Founding Father is defined as a signer of the Declaration of Independence, that figure may be true, I've found it rather hard to research. However, most of those names are not really the ones that we hear about too much, and the more famous people, even though some didn't sign the Declaration, were certainly more of the Deist variety.
