Presidential Faith In Chart Form

Christianity Today Library has made a really great chart of the religious beliefs of all of the presidents.

If you believe that the Founding Fathers were some of the best presidents, which they usually are considered to be, then you'll want to note that one thing they all had in common was not being very religious. To find the first unarguably Christian president, you have to go to Andrew Jackson, the 7th president. And while Jackson left a mixed legacy, he's best known today for slaughtering large amounts of American Indians. He was a true man of God, and of ethnic cleansing.
