Walk to Reclaim America

From their Web site:

We believe that our country was founded on the principles of freedom, the traditional family, and faith in the Almighty God. We believe that those freedoms guaranteed by our country's founding documents, those traditional family values so long held dear by our society, and the faith referred to time and again by Washington, Adams, Lincoln, and practically every other political[sic] in our country's history are the truths that made this country great... and those truths are fading fast.

Nothing against these folks. They can believe anything they want, and wingnuts are fond of the notion that the founders were wingnuts and the country was founded as a Christian nation, ignoring the First Amendment. Whether Washington was even a Christian is unclear. What is known about his actual religious beliefs is here. Adams was a Unitarian. They don't mention Jefferson, but his beliefs don't exactly match Southern Baptist doctrine. And here's what Wikipedia says about Lincoln's so-called faith:

[H]e never joined his parents' church, or any other church, and as a youth ridiculed religion.
