Constitution writers were Christians

An interesting factoid, derived from a posting by Bill Federer in "The Moral LIberal" blog. The religious composition of the 55 writers of the U.S. Constitution was:
  • 26 Episcopalians
  • 11 Presbyterians
  • 7 Congregationalists
  • 2 Lutherans
  • 2 Dutch Reformed Christians
  • 2 Methodists
  • 2 Quakers
  • 2 Roman Catholics
  • 1 Deist Christian – Dr. Franklin, who called for prayer during the Constitutional Convention, June 28, 1787.
