I'm not an expert on Jesus Christ, but I don't think he beat his chest and said "follow me because I am right". It seems to me that he won his followers by speaking his truths -- yes, but he also "walked the talk". He performed the miracles. And he made the ultimate sacrifice. As far as I know, he didn't insist that "in God we trust" be engraved on the currency of the day.

And the Founding Fathers? As near as I can tell, they holed up in Philadelphia and wrote and debated. We didn't have a flag yet for them to wrap themselves in. I don't think they wrapped themselves in cheap sentiment.

I see what you are trying to say, and since I didn't personally know any of these gentlemen, it's hard to say. I can only go by my experience in "modern" times.
