Yes...and it does not appear in the constitution either. Since you claim to be such an expert perhaps you can explain what, exactly, are these so-called "christian values" that the US was founded upon? I've asked this question to other jesus freaks and suddenly they get cold feet and their balls retract inside their abdomens as they stutter and stammer away to oblivion.
Perhaps you are made of sterner stuff?
America was founded on the principles that founded the colonies. The Constitution itself borrows heavily from the charters for these colonies that placed emphasis on religious freedom of expression...to them it was just the Christian religion, but now applies to all religion. I know you said Christianity, but come on, be real. You're trying to apply it to religion in general. It's what you Caucasian Americans do because you're too cowardly to attack the other religions because of political correctness.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
