Ken Ham petulantly stamps his feet at reality, internet replies, "this is stupid."

The only claim i've made is that by "Church", they were most likely referring exclusively to the Christian Church, this is because Jews Have synagogues, Muslims have Mosques, other religions have temples, and the country was 99.9% Christian. I've fulfilled my BOP which is to explain why i think this is most likely. If you want to deny me, you inherit a BOP to explain why you think im wrong.

Aaaaand this is why I feel okay about ignoring this thread for as long as I have: the only person even attempting to form some kind of argument is an unrepentant sophist, content to play smug little semantic games, anything to safeguard the conclusion he's already come to and is unwilling to investigate honestly.

That said, the language regarding the law doesn't exclusively use the word "church" either: the treaty of Tripoli makes it clear that the US wasn't founded on the christian religion, and the establishment clause denies the establishment of a religion so what he's saying isn't even a good semantic argument.
