    The founding fathers only wanted white Christian property owning men to vote.

      One’s religion had no impact on one’s ability to vote. While the other aspects were prominent requirements in the early days of the Union they were restrictions imposed by States themselves and not established in the US’ founding documents.

        In the early days religion definitely played a big part in your ability to vote.

          Religious tests for voting were out within the first 14 years of the Union. Given that a number of founders weren’t Christian themselves it seems fair to say they did not have a vested interest in only allowing Christians to vote.
