Christianity and the Constitution I have read this book  Every single chapter is about the religious and educational background of individuals at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention  It shows that their morals were derived from Christianity  Nowhere does it suggest that any of them intended for there to be a national religion or punishment for irreligion  The book openly says that none of them were theocrats  They did believe that laws could be based on religious lawthe other main thesis of the book but not in a way that would violate personal liberty and not without consent of the governed  Preceding unsigned comment added by       August
