FALSE! Lying is not christian.
The colonies were founded by diverse religions: catholics (Spanish) in
Florida, Puritans (Congregationists) in Massachusetts, Quakers in
Pennsyvania. Church of England in Virginia, Rhode Island by breakaway
Baptist Roger Williams who fled persecution in Massachusetts. Nobody
trusted each other. Nobody wanted to be persecuted and killed by other
bigoted religionists.
Rhode Island held up ratification of the Constitution until the bill of
rights was included. Rhode Island Baptists definitely, certainly,
positively wanted to keep intolerant Puritans out of govt enforced
religion. Other colonies had the same concerns.
Keeping religion OUT of govt was so important that there was no United
States allowed until all colonies accepted FREEDOM FROM YOUR RELIGION in
amendment number 1.
Liars are not christians, so said christ.
