And please don't give me all that bilge about how Thomas Jefferson was a Deist blah blah blah. There was not a single practicing Hindu, Moslem, Daoist, or Sikh among the Founders. Yet every one of them professed faith in a diety -- most within the framework of an established Christian denomination. Yes, there were exceptions -- Jefferson being one -- but it is not arguable that the cornerstone of this republic lies upon Christian footings. The Colonies were established by religious separatists. The states were in many cases defined as enclaves of a particular religious order. Our legal and cultural heritage descends from the religious context of the age.
We are a Christian nation.
Furthermore, the First Amendment's establishment clause was never intended to remove religious influence from public policy. It was written to prohibit a state-imposed religion after the manner of the Anglican Church in England. Freedom OF religion doesn't mean freedom FROM religion.
Are Methodists and Episcopalians included? See posts 4 and 19 above.
