America founded on Christian values? NO DOUBT!

America was founded on Christian values. God and Jesus Christ were integrated into the existence of this country from the very beginning.

52 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Orthodox Christians.

Article 11 of the original Treaty of Tripoli, 1797, is a hypocritical statement ment to ease tentions from radical muslim's piracy. This treaty was broken in 1801 and renegotiated in 1805 with the removal of this Article 11. Read the Treaties!

The Treaty of Paris of 1783. This Treaty, negotiated by Ben Franklin and John Adams among others,is truly a foundational document for the United States, because by this Treaty Britian recognized the independence of the United States.
The Treaty begins with the words, "In the Name of the most holy and undivided Trinity... ," and there is no dispute about its validity or its wording.

America wasn't founded on christian values.. These nutjobs just was to shove their religion down peoples throats..

[Jonathanedward2010]

I don't care what sort of mythology those dudes believed in. In this day and age, it's way past time to ditch such superstitious rubbish. Those fellas also had slaves and treated the common cold with leeches and "blood letting". The future of the U.S. , and the world, will be a positive one as long as humans let go of religion and it's superstitious dogmas.....Matthew 27:52-53....really?...really?.­...absolutely not.... Grow up.

George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were all strongly sympathizing the Enlightment movement, which should be very clear if you take your time comparing the values promoted by the movement and the values embraced by the 'Declaration of Indepencence' and the 'Bill of Rights'.

But if you want to continue digging through historical documents in vain, I won't stop you. Although please keep in mind that our understanding should be shaped around reality, not the other way around.

You might want to educate yourself on the Treaty of Tripoli.

Guess you need to research your " Common law..." Jefferson has some good insight as to why it was not common law... But what does he know....

@HumbleVoice But Christianity was not introduced till the seventh century; the conversion of the first christian king of the Heptarchy having taken place about the year 598, and that of the last about 686. Here then, was a space of two hundred years, during which the common law was in existence, and Christianity no part of it." Thomas Jefferson

@HumbleVoice "For we know that the common law is that system of law which was introduced by the Saxons on their settlement in England, and altered from time to time by proper legislative authority from that time to the date of Magna Charta, which terminates the period of the common law. . . This settlement took place about the middle of the fifth century...
