Earlier I thought about Benjamin Franklin and the American Religion. Revisionists try to paint historical figures into something they weren't. In Dr. Franklin's case it seems that part of a letter that he wrote to Ezra Stiles, a month before his death in 1790 is used to paint Dr. Franklin as more of a non believing sort of fellow.
Below is my response to such an article with a transposing of Dr. Franklin's letter, less two additional letters he made mention to. ( If I find a copy of these I will transpose them here as well, or if anyone should have them I would be fascinated to read them."
