The U.S. treaty with Tripoli 1796
#3
RE: The U.S. treaty with Tripoli 1796
1) Why isn't this well known?
Well, it's obscure because we're not as familiar with old trade agreements as we should be.
2)I assume if Richard Dawkins uses it then it must be legitimate. Why don't atheists use it to help refute the fundamentalist argument that the U.S. is a Christian country?
We do.
3) If I were to use it to help me shut up my fundy friends on Facebook who constantly spam my page about how the U.S. is a Christian country and we all must return to god or god will punish us (blah, blah, blah) is there any hidden thing I need to know about it?
One thing you need to know is that the real important thing is not just that the American Government stated (with wording approved by the Senate) that it's not a Christian nation, but that there wasn't a shitstorm about it from the common people when it came out. At most, there was a response of "unfortunate, but true."
