The United States is not a "Christian nation." The US was not founded on Christian beliefs but rather on principles of the enlightenment. The Founding Fathers were, for the large part, Deiests who rejected a notion of a personal God. There's a persistent mythology that the nation embraced a religious past and moved away from when actually the Colonists were looking to move away from religion towards a sense of personal choice. Fewer than 5% were actually members of an organized religion.

I was raised a muslim but I am also an atheist now.. and I have to admit (as I was raised in the USA) that America IS an christian majority country.. and democracy also = majority rules.. this man was quite possibly the most intelligent of the total history of U.S. presidents.. thats my opinion

@cutis1000 understand the context in its time period. did atheism really endorse science, as it is now, rather than no belief whatsoever?

[phenomenalclassic93]

possibly the greatest president who recognized govt's core and how it should be ran to oversee everyone's basic human and civil necessities that cannot be distributed by the individual solely. two of the greatest, most under rated politicians to this day: Ike and Bobby

@PawnBACM thats the reason they did it

[PawnBACM]

@jay91fray Yeah, but they couldn't have done it without "god".

"Perhaps we need an OUTSIDE universal threat. i occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide WILL VANISH if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. yet i ask you is not an alien force ALREADY among us; what could be more alien to the universal aspiration of our people than war and the threat of war"

-Pres. Ronald Reagan 1987 U.N. Speech

This is the generation that needs to know its self. Vietnam they forced you, Iraq they brainwashed you

So what President Eisenhower tried to do was warn America that it's future as a free nation would be no more. The very reason Oliver Stone made JFK in 1991 was so that people would still look around once in while. Just 10 years later the same actions by the very same corporate military. And where is the U.S. today?

You are in CUBA to torture, you see high security as freedom and the MSM as entertainment. You earned it.

A lot of people listen to this speech but they don't really hear it,possibly because they don't know what he is actually hinting at. I think JFK's speach was more blunt!!!

I was a teenager when he became President. I never felt safer and was able to walk the streets going to school or taking a bus without being molested. Bless him.!
