This is one of those videos that restores my faith in America. But, nonetheless I seem to find myself frowning upon it. I love, yet hate this nation I'm proud of. I'm a huge patriot, and yet not all at the same time. Hopefully though, one day we can achieve being a more perfect union... but it'll take a lot of work, but in the end, it would be hell of a worth it.

@MrBoo88 The United States wasn't officially founded on Christian beliefs much like the United States doesn't have an official language of English.

@utubecenseorstruth it was not founded as a Christian Nation. That is not true. For you to proclaim such is an error.

[MrBoo88]

@utubecenseorstruth Read the Treaty of Tripoli. "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"

hey uh don't mean to offend but atheism is a creed in itself ironic that no religion is actually a religion but dang where im from the biggest thing we have to worry about is agnostic atheist .

Great video, but sadly has anyone looked at the countrys history and noticed the more diverse it gets ( or less white) the worse it seems to get at least when you compare crime rates from the 1960s to now?

America was founded as a christian nation that welcomed others, but the others seem to forget that chrisitanity is one reason we welcome others
