Romans 13.. were the founders in error in rebelling?

[celticpiping]

Howdy all, the text of Romans 13:1-6 seems to be plainly written in terms of its intent & meaning.
And of course, it was written to folk who were under the rule/boot of Rome(Nero..).
So, my question is: if the text means how it reads, then how could anyone who is a believer,
rise up against his/her government, without being outside the will of God?
appreciate some thoughts,

Well who says they were believers, for an example John Adams
Adams was raised in the Congregational church. In Quincy, the Unitarian faction was dominant and included Adams and his father. It was a new force in the colonies and denied the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus Christ.

The OP didn't say that the governments were/are believers. Indeed the opposite was implied, as mention was made of the current government at the time Romans was written was the Roman emperor Nero.
