RE: The usual hypocritical religious load of junk
Adams agrees with Romney sufficiently to support the sense in which he was quoted: Government cannot hope to succeed unless human passions are controlled by morality and religion. The U.S. constitution depends on such.
Whether or not Adams views the U.S. government as being divinely organized, thinks the original "revelation" of the Christian religion has been diluted by fables, tales and legends, or accepts the divinity of Jesus is irrelevant.
Adams, like Jefferson, was a deist who rejected the divinity of Jesus. He'd certainly be no fan of Mr Romney, and he'd unquestionably be one of those "secularists" that Romney's trying to distance himself from.
Unless Adams would apply some sort of religious test, I can see no reason he wouldn't be a "fan of Mr Romney." And I've seen nothing to make me believe he'd be one of those "seek[ing] to remove from the public domain any acknowledgment of God."
