Christian Nation

[chi pan]

yes they held church services that is true, but that is not the church as we think of it today, it included all denominations, including catholics, no doubt muslims and jews and everyother faith would've have been allowed to pray there. That is not a church that's using 1 of 17 or so, existing buildings as a religous town hall, jefferson even said he would never have attended this church if it wasn't non-discriminatory

are you implying they left out the 1 million chances to add something religous of anykind, to this constitution, because they were stupid or because they were liars?

yes, there were several denominations. there were no muslim or jewish services though. you greatly exaggerate, this is the reality of it.

Preachers of every Protestant denomination appeared. (Catholic priests began officiating in 1826.) As early as January 1806 a female evangelist, Dorothy Ripley, delivered a camp meeting-style exhortation in the House to Jefferson, Vice President Aaron Burr, and a "crowded audience." Throughout his administration Jefferson permitted church services in executive branch buildings. The Gospel was also preached in the Supreme Court chambers.
