The USA DOES NOT have a christian heritage. The forefathers were atheists and deists. They wanted absolutely nothing to do with christianity. Remember, they were fresh out of a christian ruled world.

Can anyone say INQUISITION? Our forefathers had their fill of christianity.

Are you telling me that none of our forefathers were christians? What's your source for that statement? Which ones were atheists? They didn't have their of fill christianity, but rather of a government which required them to follow a specific denomination and persecuted them if they didn't. Christianity has been the belief of the majority of Americans since the foundation of the nation. The heritage of the nation is unquestionably heavily influenced by christianity.
