> Judeo-Christian principles permeate our reality.
Indeed so. But then... so do pagan principles and sources. The pagan Greeks gave us science, that lifts us from subsistence farming. The pagan Norse and Roman gave us our concepts of law. Today is named after the moon. Tomorrow is named after the Teutonic god of war. The day after is named after the chief of the gods. The month we are currently is was named by the pagan Romans. Our primary holidays are derived from pagan or secular sources... Christmas from Mithras, Easter from Ostara, 4th of July from revolutionaries, Yuri's Night from a bunch of Commies. Our western cultural heritage was in large part preserved by the *Muslims* of all people, only returned to the west after the conquest of Spain in the 15th century.
The reaquaintance of Europe with the Greek philosophers actually began earlier, in the 12th century.
Are you suggesting we take on the forms of government and cultures of those you listed?
Our form of government and culture differs from all those you listed.
1. Higher authority makes us equal.
2. Freedom to live and to peaceably persuade others.
3. Family values and perpetuating good citizenry.
4. Charitable and forgiving attitude with those around us.
5. Quality of life based on Character, not power or prestige.
6. The idea to harmoniously blend multiple cultures under one God.
These are uniquely American Values!
