Rez...I don't get your point?

The 18th century was a time when humans truly seperated from god, however, people still kept religion around. Can the 18th century be considered the time period when man betrayed god and commited the same sin as Eve eating the apple from the tree of knowledge?
How can religious people separate from God? Religions are a human invention that define God as the answer to the great unknowns of human existence and, in fact, the mysteries of the universe.

Humankind has been betraying its God or Gods since they began to think rationally, have they not?
If you equate our founders referring to God in our founding documents as only keeping religion around, I think you are mistaken. This country was and still is largely religious. Certainly much more so than the former Catholic countries of Europe?


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
