>> You apparently do not read well. The Founding Fathers were devout men, but were not interested in re-nacting the religious wars of Europe.

You either don't read well, or you don't want to know the truth. I suspect the latter. For over 150 years American's believed this to be a Christian Nation without the slightest suspicion they were wrong. It was not until the ACLU-influenced Hugo Black court in 1947 usurped power from the states and the people that the so-called "Separation of Church and State" myth came into existence. Frankly, the ACLU can go straight to hell where it belongs, and so can all the fools that believe the ACLU's lies.

Which does not, of course, mean they weren't wrong.

In addition to the Preamble and Article I I posted above, need I also point out the prohibition on religious tests for office, or the lack of any reference to "Jesus Christ" in the Constitution, despite the Founding Fathers' ample opportunity to put it there if they chose?

So for 150 years Americans believed it was the purpose of the United States to convert the world to Christianity? So much so that compulsory religion was established in the constitution?

Prove it, then.

Though I am not a fan of the ACLU, I am nonetheless astounded by your obvious display of Christian forgiveness and willingness to hate the sin but love the sinner.
