Dutch woman convicted of having sex outside marriage after rape

[Kingpin]

As a Christian, I ardently argue with other Christians that we are NOT a Christian Nation.  We were founded by a diverse group of men (Christians, Catholics, Deists, Quakers, etc) and while some of our founding ideologies have roots in Christianity, the founders made it abundantly clear that we are a nation where the people are free to believe what they choose.  There is little doubt that this country was founded by religious men as there are four references to God in the Declaration of Independence alone, but we are NOT a Christian Nation.

Hey Kingpin,
I would argue whether Deism really counts as "religious", and I'm not a constitutional scholar, but some of those references to God might come from that source.

I won't argue with you on that as I don't think Deism is religious but I included it as there were founders who were classified as Deists to show the diversity in the beliefs of the founders (not all were religious zealots even though many were pastors).  Regardless, you have a diverse groups of religious believers who firmly believed the governing body of the nation should hold no sway on what people choose to believe.
