   "Beginning his volume in the ancient and medieval worlds, Geoffrey R. Stone   
   demonstrates how the Founding Fathers, deeply influenced by their   
   philosophical forebears, saw traditional Christianity as an impediment to the   
   pursuit of happiness and to the    
   quest for human progress. Acutely aware of the need to separate politics from   
   the divisive forces of religion, the Founding Fathers crafted a constitution   
   that expressed the fundamental values of the Enlightenment."   
       
      
      
   Traditional Christianity an impediment to the pursuit of happiness and to the   
   quest for human progress?   
   What a load of confusion! Papal Catholicism which subordinated the correct   
   order of things to the Romulus priesthood or clergy to the detriment of the   
   bishops supposed to be administrators after the likeness of the Roman Senators   
   might be an impediment    
   to progress but this doesn't represents the original Christianity.
