And your response to the Mars colony situation would be?

Like it or not, the USA was founded on the principle that all men have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property, under due process of Constitutional law.
Our Constitution makes that principle quite clear, and only mentions religion in a generic sense. There is no specific reference to "CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES" or "INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN IDEALS AND VALUES".

Evidently you've had a poor history teacher.

Nothing in my post is "poor history". Evidently, you cannot refute those facts.

Trace out where the values enshrined in the founding documents originated from. Read the Federalist Papers.

Nothing in the Federalist Papers make specific reference to "CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES" or "INDIVIDUAL CHRISTIAN IDEALS AND VALUES" as being the founding principles of our Republic, -- you know this. - You're bluffing.

And your response to the Mars colony situation would be?

How could a constitution modeled on our own be 'taken over' by fanatics from either radical faction, if they all worked within its framework?
