2. Among many writers, Franklin Steiner's early 20th century work

"The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents" remains one of the best researched. Steiner says nine of the first ten presidents were not orthodox Christians. After leaving office, Jackson was baptized into the Presbyterian Church.

Anyone who cites the Declaration of Independence and its use of the phrase "Nature's God" as meaning orthodox Christian dogma is incredibly stupid.
