Also, being that most of the Founding Fathers that were Christian were Episcopalian, and being that we have had more Episcopalian Presidents than any other denomination, and being that many of the founding fathers also were instrumental in founding the Episcopal Church in America, and being the National Cathedral is an Episcopal Cathedral, its my contention that if we were anything, we would be an Episcopal nation that just happened to be tolerant of other beliefs.








*Note: I am an Episcopalian.
