"The United States is a Christian-founded nation"

[Mudhammam]

It's pretty obvious that many of the founding fathers were cultural "Christians," that is, their ideals were heavily interwoven with 1,500 years of Christian European thought.

The Founding Fathers were Englishmen who did their best to throw off the nonsense that the church(es) had been shitting out for centuries.

The Age of Enlightenment (or simply the Enlightenment or Age of Reason) was a cultural movement of intellectuals beginning in late 17th- and 18th-century Europe emphasizing reason and individualism rather than tradition.[1] Its purpose was to reform society using reason, to challenge ideas grounded in tradition and faith, and to advance knowledge through the scientific method. It promoted scientific thought, skepticism, and intellectual interchange.[2] The Enlightenment was a revolution in human thought. This new way of thinking was that rational thought begins with clearly stated principles, uses correct logic to arrive at conclusions, tests the conclusions against evidence, and then revises the principles due to the evidence.

We did not get from the Divine Right of Kings to the Declaration of the Rights of Man because of any fucking religious shit.

Undoubtedly, I was merely pointing out that references to God or Jesus in their writings are irrelevant to the principles on which they founded the country. Even if they were all Christians, which they weren't, it doesn't mean they intended for the nation to be "Christian."
