@FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7 There was obviously a lot of Xtain influence but these theo-tards act like it's all some sort of prophecy. while we also had slaves, killed & stole Indian lands, and treated women legally like children & slaves.

@tomsinclairjr You rant, rave and lie like a typical religious nut. Europe was Xtain, including England for over a 1000 years before the US was formed, why didn't they figure that out if it was all about God? You are so dense that you don't even realize that every ruler & gov't tells the people God ordained them. Man ruins everything, including the religious nonsense that you spout?

He sounds like one of those Heritage Foundation wonks. If Christianity was so important to our way of life, why didn't the rest of the Xtian countries, who had been that way for almost 1000 years, came up with something like we had before us?

@tomsinclairjr Ever heard of Billy Graham? He had a few things to say to evangelicals about government and politics.

@tomsinclairjr um, if there was a god, it would be obvious, we wouldn't need a government to begin with

YOU CLEARLY HAVE NOT DONE YOUR HOMEWORK. Read THE REAL BEN FRANKLIN; THE REAL GEORGE WASHINGTON and then come back here and tell me that. These 2 books, which I just finished, were in those men's OWN WORDS in letters they wrote, which you can find in the Library of Congress. YES, AMERICA WAS FOUNDED BY DIVINE PROVIDENCE and ON GODLY PRINCIPLES, UPHOLDING GOD AS THE OVERSEER OF OUR NATION. It was man who cut God out of things, fool. Man ruins everything.

@TheForwardGaze :that is a lie of the devil.
God BLESSED mankind with land, animals, and other humans TO TAKE CARE OF FOR HIM. If I gave you a new car, would you just let it go OR TAKE CARE OF IT? As citizens of America, we need to know our history, our politicians, and what we believe in and then vote accordingly. To neglect these God-given rights, is to turn from God, which is what we have done as a nation. AMERICA NEEDS TO RETURN TO GODLY PRINCIPLES and then we will be blessed again.

A real christian has no interest in voting or government. Christians keep their minds focused on love of God, Christ, and the afterlife.

@FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7 Come on you can do better than googling something on Wikipedia. Try actually reading a book sometime.

@FlyinSpaghettiMnstr7 See you are not staying on point. "Religious Freedom" has everything to do about talking "about religions and not get killed".
Article 11 - Treaty of Tripoli - The problem comes that it states the government was not founded on the Christian religion. It says nothing about the fact that country itself being known to be a Christian nation. This was done to insure Tripoli and Muslims that America was not the same as European Christianity which hated the Muslims.
