Was just not a Christian, he was Catholic. Famous picture of him was cropped by the Smithsonian and placed in textbooks. The full picture had him wearing a huge crucifix.

Thanks for sharing that, Briva : )

The secularists pretend they're telling an unbiased history - when actually they're lying. Hiding the facts & pretending they never happened is dishonest, not unbiased.

Similarly, I think you're the one who shared this story of Squanto being a Christian. It was a real eye -opener for me.

While I think it's very neat that he was a Christian, I doubt that the original cropper of the photo was doing it to keep the crucifix out of the picture. It's very common to crop pictures so that you can see things better -- if they'd left the crucifix in, you wouldn't see as much detail in his face, which is very interesting. As a former newspaper editor, I'd have cropped it, too. ;) One can say "Hey! Isn't this cool, look at the original, here's something we might not have known if we didn't see the original..." etc. without the "revisionist history" accusation.
