The Influence of the Bible on the Founding Fathers

America's founding settlers and Founding Fathers were largely considered Christian, not Deists; and 1 the influence of the Bible on the founding of America had a direct and dramatic influence on the documents and form of government that developed the framework for the "longest running constitutional republic in history." The influence of Christianity on the lives around the world over thousands of years has not only been a staple in the way that individuals conduct their lives but has more been a set of principles and philosophies in building the foundation of our government, law, education, our economic system and many other aspects.
