What a terrific country this was when our leaders adhered to Biblical principles that are enshrined in our Constitution. Only when corrupt and wicked men, wolves in sheep's clothing were allowed to occupy positions of power did America start going down hill fast. Now the downward momentum is like a snowball, growing in size and speed. Soon I think even the naysayers will be questioning whether or not Biblical prophecy spoken of in Daniel and Revelations is coming to pass.
it is mostly secular and it was the founding fathers to make nation secular as they know from history how the state can make its own religious sect (e.g. English church) then abuse & kill citizens in the name of religion. so they thought it's best to keep politics away from religion but then most of them are raised as Christians so there is much influence in writing of the constitution voluntarily or involuntarily,
ok, I am prepared to admit where I am wrong. I did the reading you suggested and jefferson is clear that government must not interfere with religion and the first ammendment enshrines that.
But i still stand by my claim that the united states is secular and not a christian nation - no where does it specify christianity in the constitution.
This Congressman just told you how Our founding fathers had service before attending to the country and prayer! And the declaration of independance and Constitution all were derived from the bible on christian principles!
Nope - it was primarily the protection of the union from the emergence of a theocratic system such as that in the UK where the monarch is the head of the countries official religion, the Church of England.
So as much as you might like to dream of a facist theocracy of bible toting psychopaths it is just that... a dream.
Virginia, May 1789, Washington said that every man "ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience."

Example of that , (R) pastor Ted sick fuck Haggard, (R) mark child molesting Foley , (R)Larry bathroom sex Craig
( R ) Bob $20 Allen, ( R) Glenn mouth-to-penis resuscitation Murphy Jr., ( R ) Mark I am going for hike Sanford just to name a few.
All sick Republicans Bible+ politics = definite some dark sickness.

That quote from George is not directly related to the point of separation of church and state
Read up on Thomas Jefferson and the first amendment, it's very clear
