A good example of revisionist historians is a 1997 book called The Godless Constituion, written by two professors at Cornell University. This book was used in many universities as a text book. According to the authors of this book, the framers of the constitution did not want statements of God because they (our framers) wanted to “create an utterly secular state” in which religion would be kept strictly private and separate from government. Reading some Oaths of public office does no support that falsehood.
Oath of office for public officials’ 1776 through 1780; Delaware 1776; Every persons who shall be chosen a member of either house, appointed to any office or place of trust, before taking his seat or entering upon the execution of his office, shall...make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit; I _____, do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, Blessed forevermore; and I do acknowledge the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by Divine inspiration. Wow, they really didn’t want God.
