    The satire is that they were “extremist”. Now the error is many of them were not Christians. Thomas Jefferson and Franklin I know were deists. I fall into the atheist/agnostic/deist camp. Deism was fairly prevalent among our founding fathers.

    Jefferson even created a bible removing the super natural elements of jesus.

      Athiest, agnostic, and deist aren’t the same. I know you know this. An apologetics tactic is to say they are all the same.
