You seem to be missing my point. There's a genuine reason for a disagreement over how the USA was founded. The constitution was certainly founded within a secular framework, and with that I agree. But the people who did that (i.e. the British) were bought by colonialism from a Christian monarchy, that later dissented. Without either of those two events it's impossible for the USA that exists today to exist - thus both are true, it was founded firstly by colonialists and then again by a revolution that lead to a secular state.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK
"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances.
