Wow Don you don't even know the difference between the constitution and the declaration of independence. The creator was in the DOI no where in the constitution does it say christianity or christ or creator. Thank goodness you got fired from your job that you were unqualified for. go back to filling cavities and stay out of government nutjob.

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the Laws."- Article 11 The Treaty of Tripoli

american superiority complex is the worst thing that has ever happened to it. makes it secluded and incompetent. I'm not saying americans are stupid, I'm saying that they are intentionally handicapping themselves in such an open and international world.

"I want to feel special! That gives me the right to re-write history and say that secular democracy = theocracy"

What a douche.

@Robberbaron15 And even while the creator was mentioned in the Declaration of Independence, it never showed any hints toward a CHRISTIAN creator. Thomas Jefferson was NOT a Christian. In fact, he was very outspoken AGAINST Christianity. Why would he want to found our country on Christianity? That doesn't make sense.

I agree, this guy is a nutjob.

Founded on biblical principles? Really? The First Amendment of the Constitution is in direct conflict with the Christian First Commandment, in which Christians are told that there should be no "Gods placed before me". A devout Christian would not permit a government that would allow a religion that worshiped god other than the Christian god. Further, isn't one of the commandments about coveting? Is like like pursuing happiness? As it so states in the Declaration of Indendence?

I just want to correct the host, a little. I've never heard anyone say that our founding father's were all atheists. Not one time, and I've heard atheists talk about our founding fathers MANY times. However, I have heard a great many Christians say that we were founded as a Christian Nation, which is a bunch of bullshit. As for the guest, he's a complete idiot and should be ashamed of himself with this attempt to dumb down our kids as much as possible.
