Williams believed that the decision to believe in Christ was part of the test God set for us in order to get into heaven, and founded Providence as an explicitly secular (but still predominantly christian) society.
there's a big difference between "come live in this city which is majority christian, in a majority christian colony, and be tested with us and see how amazing we as christians are, so that you will convert," and "come start building massive hindu temples all over america, rejecting christ and God, and worshiping demons." that's not even close to the same thing, and the fact that you would even suggest such is comical. i don't think there's anything but the actual words of the founding fathers you could use to convince me, and don't bother showing me that john locke thought muzzies should move to britain, because i know, and i disagree. i can look at britain today and see for myself he was completely wrong. sometimes, people make mistakes, and that's what happened here. you can see when washington suggested a fucking tax on muslims living in virginia to support building churches. he knew that they would do the same to christians, and that it wasn't some nice easy thing to deal with.
the idea that they loved muslims and thought their religious views were just as valid and real and true as theirs is fucking retarded. the founders made a mistake, i said it outright. if they believed islam and hindus (hindoos at the time of course) were equal, then they were also wrong about that. but we also look at things like this from a modern perspective, expecting that the founding fathers could simply learn about how violent the middle east was in an afternoon, or that the slaughter of christians by muzzies was constant and everywhere they could perform it. they couldn't easily learn officer's diaries about the hindoos crushing other humans' heads because they OUTRIGHT SAY that those religions see these people as inferior people. those religions directly contradict the founding fathers' open and constitutionally-stated beliefs, which is why i believe that they did not truly love any of these groups, but knew that they had to at least allow them in because building a country is EXPENSIVE work.
jefferson is probably the odd one out, but again, i'm specifically talking about how you can see that the US's constitutional protections not only are based in the christian values system, but explicitly state that rights are given by GOD. it's not hard to work out, if you actually look at the world's context, and not just the pencilmark on paper that one person who even admitted that he was simply trying to convert other people to christianity, believed that christianity was the top level religion, and that the others were not. they didn't say that buddha guaranteed any rights, did they? i don't see 'Allah' or any arabic in the constitution, which would be required by islamists. i don't see any protections for cows or anything the hindus find sacred, or any food restrictions the way the islamists require in every single country they form.
i admire that you're living up to your name so intently, though. subversion is a powerful weapon.
