The purpose of this module/week’s Discussion Board Forum is to encourage you to think through the connection between the philosophical and theological influences on the Founding Fathers and the specific ways in which these influences shaped their corresponding political ideas. You will have the opportunity to interact with your peers and to learn from them as we study this crucial topic.
Research, reflect on, and answer the following questions:
What were the most significant influences on the Founding Fathers? Christianity, Deism, something else, or some combination of factors?
How did the specific philosophical and theological influences shape the Founding Father’s specific views on government?
