For anyone seeking a scholarly treatment of contemporary debates, take a look at David Barton’s Wallbuilders web site. In particular, you’ll find his Resources to be invaluable. David’s work is largely free of opinions and he is generally careful to point out when he opines or when there are varied interpretations of the Founders’ letters, speeches and debates.

David is quick to point out the faith-based heritage of the USA. In particular he has done deep research into the lives and beliefs of the country’s founders. David’s analysis of their word choices and the context of their writings is as thorough as any I’ve seen.

Even if you use this work to develop your own opposing viewpoints, you’ll be working from a scholarly base with facts you can trust. Either these men did and said these things or they didn’t. Either they believed these things or they didn’t.
