[QUOTE="jayem, post: 70268964, member: 8344"] What that describes is not really modern. That is to a large extent the Christianity of some of the most revered founders of this country--most notably Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and James Madison. They admired Jesus as a moral teacher, but were skeptical, if not outright deniers that he was in any way divine or supernatural. This is the influence of the Enlightenment, which goes back 200 years before the 20th century. And since Protestantism has no hierarchcal authority to enforce doctrinal orthodoxy, it has been affected much more than Catholicism. [/QUOTE]
