“At least one person was killed and nine were injured when a gunman attacked a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints service in Michigan on Sunday morning, police said. The shooter was killed by police.
Authorities say the 40-year-old male suspect rammed his vehicle through the front doors of the church in Grand Blanc Township, about 60 miles northwest of Detroit, before exiting and opening fire with an “assault rifle” on the hundreds of worshippers inside.
Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye said investigators believe the suspect also deliberately set fire to the church, which appeared engulfed in flames in photos and videos shared on social media.”

Mamy prominent founders did not believe in the supernatural claims of Christianity. They did not believe they were founding a Christian nation. Some wrote harshly about major parts of Christianity. They believed in religious liberty. Despite not believing and having harsh words, they were not necessarily anti-religion. Some were culturally Christian despite not believing. There was much disagreement among the founders. The Constitution they created was based on secular rights and the freedom of religion, rather than based on a particular religion.

Ethics and morality existed long before Jesus. Much of what Jesus said was said by someone before him. Nevertheless, Jesus and Christianity had a huge impact on Western ethics.
