"America is a Christian country and to be precise a Protestant country. Sorry."

You guys just love repeating this myth.

Funny how our founding documents do not mention this. In fact, they specifically proscribe it.

You'd just LOVE to kick out anybody else, right?

Your professed "patriotism" is a lie.

You misunderstand me. First, I am not a Protestant. Second when I say that America is a Protestant country I mean the same when I would say that France or Ireland are Catholic or Germany is Catholic and Lutheran or that Canada is English and French.

I do not mean any offence and do not wish to "kick" anybody. I am stating simple facts, maybe with some simplification. Of course America in last century became more Catholic and got a significant Jewish minority. Still the Colonies (which were the craddle of America) were mostly Protestant and it had a huge impact. Same applies to entire XIXc

LC denies that America is a Protestant/Christian country and implies that APole is furthering a myth with such a claim.

LC needs his meds.

AP made a statement of fact. The Constitution certainly does not proscribe religion. This country's population is majority Protestant, by far. And the Founders were the same.

LC may deny the facts, but they won't go away.
