I think the target in mind is mean spirited self described "Bible believing Christians," who de-emphasive Christ's invocation of love, and treating your neighbor with dignity and respect, who are not reconciled to that Madisonian doctrine set forth in the Federalist Papers of pluralism, and affording to all certain fundamental rights to enjoy the fruited plain without traducement emanating from an authoritarian intolerant intrusive state. Just a guess, from this near atheist.

The large majority of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution were Christians, many of whom were lay elders, deacons, or vestrymen in their local congregations. A large number of them were Calvinists. Granted, Jefferson and Franklin were not orthodox Christians, but their political thought was heavily influenced by their Puritan predecessors, such as Samuel Rutherford, and by political philosophers like John Locke, whose theories, while secularized, drew from covenantal theology.

American legal theory is rooted in English common law, which in turn was at least partially derived from Biblical sources. The original intent of the First Amendment was to prohibit the establishment of a national church, like the Church of England. It was not to divorce Biblical principles from informing legislation. The "wall of separation" between church and state is a 20th Century phenomenon, promoted by liberal justices, particularly in the era of Earl Warren.

You're right, you don't understand or receive Biblical truth because you're spiritually dead according to the Bible. Spiritual understanding is incapable for those who reject the Gospel. Nor do you understand how Biblical principles were embedded in the founding of our country or our founding fathers. Also you don't understand that God is not mocked, whatsoever man sows, that shall he also reap. That cause & effect is true for Christians, non-Christians or atheists (like you) and countries & leaders as well. This so-called "innocent" Easter Egg hunt has turned into one more battleground for the gay/lesbian/homosexual community to force a radical acceptance and embracing of their perverse & abominable chosen lifestyle. There is not a civilization or culture in the history of the world that has ever survived once it has embraced homosexuality as an accepted lifestyle. Not one! The U.S. and Western Civilization are dangerously close to the same precipice. You can laugh it off or dismiss it.... but our country will reap the seeds of moral depravity and perverse sexual lifestyles. Too bad GW Bush doesn't see this in light of Biblical truth and cancel this charade rather than bestowing credability on a gay/lesbian/homosexual lifestyle by allowing this to continue with with the white T-shirts and leis to defiantly proclaim their message. I feel sorry for the kids in the households of these perverse, abominable adults.
