Yes...but what "principles" are you citing? I always get this shit from fundies about how "America was founded on xtian principles." When asked, they never can seem to come up with any.
The only "principle I can see that might be remotely bible-based is "kill the Indians and steal their land" but my gut instinct is that you aren't talking about that one.
