I was once told by a LC that AGD wasn't based on religion and that it had nothing to do with religion, being that I was a. relatively new to AGD at the time and b. that having had a wonderful LC when we were colonizing, I didn't want to show disrespect to the current LC... I let the matter drop.
Without getting to into it, we have parts of the ritual from all different literary pieces, including the Bible. I can see how she could have said that AGD wasn't based on religion but it was heavily influenced by the Bible.
I have always wondered, but didn't know how to ask... how our Jewish sisters handle parts of the ritual that come from or are influenced by the Bible... PM me if you want to express your thoughts my wonderful Jewish sisters!
As to the demonination of the founders, not sure personally. I know that we had one founding sister who became a missionary. And that as afore mention, the New Testament is used in different aspects of the ritual.... I would say that AGD's founders were Protestant.
