There's not a single thing about Christianity in our legally binding "founding documents," meaning the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. That's by design. By culture we are Christian, by government we are a non-sectarian nation. Anyone who tries to persuade us otherwise is revising history with a particular agenda. If our government is changed to represent Christians more than other groups, it will no longer represent all Americans equally. That would be a grave mistake and the beginning of the end of true American religious liberty. In fact, a free republic depends first on freedom of religion and freedom of speech, which is why both appear in the first amendment.

The ACLU will be proud of you. You revised history to fit your secular agenda. For example, the "First Amendment" was not really the first. It was the third, and then after combining several articles. It became the "first" by default when the original first and second amendments failed ratification by the states. Sorry to burst your bubble, but all 10 of the Bill of Rights were considered equally important.

You wrote, "By culture we are Christian, by government we are a non-sectarian nation. Anyone who tries to persuade us otherwise is revising history with a particular agenda.

The truth is that prior to the usurpation by the ACLU-influenced, Hugo Black supreme court of 1947 the states had power over religion (from the 10th Amendment), and many allowed Christianity to be taught and nourished in public schools.

You wrote, If our government is changed to represent Christians more than other groups, it will no longer represent all Americans equally. That would be a grave mistake and the beginning of the end of true American religious liberty.

Our grave mistake was allowing that communist front group, the ACLU, have a voice in public policy. It has brainwashed too many naive Americans, including you.

Agree with Philip

"If our government is changed to represent Christians more than other groups, it will no longer represent all Americans equally."-Risk

The problem is that our government has changed so that it no longer represents Christians equally. Christians are the majority but our rights are being restricted. We are being pushed out of public forums while all other cultures/religions are being promoted. The state department trumpets the contributions that Muslims made to America, Schools teach Christian youth that Islam is good, while no branch of government can mention Christianity in a positive light.

Absolutely. To protect our rights, groups like the ACLU must be censored. (Rolls eyes)
