in the Treaty of Tripoli from George Washington:

"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion;"

and there are literally hundreds of other quotes I could cite from the more prominent founding fathers that support this as well (Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Jackson, Franklin, etc).

From the days of President George Washington and the development of our Constitution, Christianity has been the guiding force of making this a nation that all our first immigrants waanted. They came from many parts of the world to live here and be a part of this wonderful place. This worked well until the early 1900's when the American Communist party decided that everyone , both rich and poor, should be made equaland religeon was standing in its way. Then the ACLU picked up on this and decided that the Christian religion and its beliefs

needed to be changed. So the ACLU has slowly been dismanteling our schools and public offices by removing the Ten Commandents and prayers from official functions. They have been using their own interpretation of the Constitution and trying to destroy what our forefathers had used as their guidelines. I believe the Constitution aught to be ammended so that those guidelines of almost 300 years be brought more in line with current world situations. Judges should not be punished for displaying the Ten Commandments in the courtrooms and the Right to bear arms should be controlled to reflect the difference between muzzle loading guns and AK-47 assault rifles. If the ACLU could be eliminated, that would be plus to the whole country.

i believe if you asked every American whether we were a judeo-christian nation or not the vast majority would say we are. Americans self identify as judeo-christians.

I'm a Malaysian. Ever since I known America from my childhood days till now, I always perceived the USA as a Christian fouded country which has been trying her very best to accomadate and practise the freedom of speech and movement Please do not be sad or upset on what your President had said. Be assured that there are millions of people from other countries that will forver perceived the USA as a Christian country.

In God we trust.

what makes you think so, jeff?

P.S. you should have said 'pack his bags,' or even 'pack his or her bags.' wouldn't want to sound ignorant!

This country was founded on God. In God we trust. So help us God. One nation under God. Anyone who doesn't like it can pack their bags and leave for Iraq.
