The U.S. Was Founded as a Christian Nation!

Was it really? When did "In God we Trust" become our motto? And since when did the Presidents Religious affiliation become a matter of concern for the people?

In your last sentence you got it all wrong, the right expression is “keep your fucking religion out of our government” not your religion out of out fucking government, thus recognizing who is fucked up.

Blame Texas they have the most students in the United States so they have the most text books printed. So, whatever they want taught gets put in the text books. Sadly, this means nationally what Texas wants gets taught all over the US.

@WILLTHEWGMAN You didn't respond to my comment. In making their decisions, the Supreme Court justices (or any other judge) do not reference the Declaration of Independence, but the secular law of the land. The Constitution. Your thesis, in fact, underscores what has been written in history books as the very deliberate writing of the Constitution as a completely secular document to be the laws of a secular nation. And it guarantees secularism and a multi-religious culture in the 1st Amendment

Again, the same US history lesson, why must I repeat this?

The Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution are inseparable founding documents, the 1st explains from wince our rights are derived & the 2nd what these rights are and what bodies of government do what ... I am not "rewriting" anything, this is basic knowledge.

You cannot have rights without an explanation of how such rights are assumed and derived... the Declaration of Independence servers as this.

@WILLTHEWGMAN Will, the CONSTITUTION is the law of the land. NOT the Decl or Independence. The Constitution is absolutely a secular document. Show me a Supreme Court decision that was based on the Declaration of Independence!!!! No, the Justices wrote from Constitutional Law. Show me a course in law school, in fact, called "Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Law"! You are rewriting American history as well as law. Read history books, as I have.

@friedie1jeff

You state this.; 'You quoted from the Declaration of Indepence. They were careful not to mention God in the Constitution'

I had to explain to you that the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution are inseparable founding American documents, the 1st explains from wince our rights are derived & the 2nd what these rights are. This is BASIC US history and your assumption above is baseless, who was careful for what again??? Where did you derive this assumption from????

@friedie1jeff

You need to learn the meaning of irrelevant, something you`ve seemed to have missed while obtaining your degrees as well as the meaning of assumptions in which you seem to use to derive facts from as you state in your claims. Sorry you are much older than you appear in words and communication but this is not my downfall but yours. Name calling is really 3rd grade no mater what angle your argument is coming from... btw, listing such attributes without good debate in them is, LOL
