My favorite counter to this completely bogus claim is in the Treaty of Tripoli, a peace treaty signed into law by John Adams with unanimous assent from the Senate. In the treaty it explicitly states at the beginning of Article 11:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion....."
Written by the founding fathers, ratified by the founding fathers. 'Merica ain't no Christian nation.
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion....."
Written by the founding fathers, ratified by the founding fathers. 'Merica ain't no Christian nation.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.
