The United States of America is not a Christian country and it was not founded upon Christian principles.
If you think otherwise then you don't know American history, you don't know the Constitution and you don't know American law. That's right, law. The Treaty of Tripoli was ratified by unanimous vote of the Senate and signed by President John Adams in 1797. Since our government has not since rebuked the treaty it is still the law of the land.
Let's take a quick look at Article 11 shall we:
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Read 'em and weep boys. the Christian right is stupidly begging to be ass-raped on this issue if they keep up their idiotic blather. Face it; we have a secular government. I'm sure baby Jesus is crying.
Keep your imaginary sky-daddy out of my government, out of my schools and out of my fucking way.
