Max Weber uses the example of Franklin as an archetype of the protestant ethic in his writings, seeing how secular piety turns to capital accumulation through delayed gratification. If everyone was like Franklin, there would be no culture, since everyone would be obsessed with money.

Bullshit Benjamin Franklin loved going to the hellfire club people just want to frame him from a Christian worldview because they want to act like everyone has a Christian morality and a culture is just a group of people with a common group of beliefs and community it can be anything

if all the founding fathers were like franklin, 1776 would have failed. you need more than just nerds who fly kites. his contributions to science and political economy were remarkable, but you need people like washington and lafayette to win the war and craft the state.

that is the serious answer to your question. I will let the rest of the thread be about the obvious fact that the founding fathers were in fact all hypocrites, rapists, racists, slave owners, etc. we all know that already.
