The key historical fact which you are futilely attempting to alter is that this nation was founded as a Christian nation by men who were overwhelmingly Christian.

It is much more likely that the Founding Fathers never imagined the rampant secularism now upon us than that they did envision it and chose, nonetheless, to allow the kind of nonsense you're spewing to jeopardize their recently and hard won freedoms.

You are correct that it was founded by men who were primarily Christian, but you are wrong that it was founded as a Christian nation. In fact, as I have previously noted, the only reference to religion in the original Constitution was to restrict it's use as a test for public office. Our founding fathers clearly wanted freedom of religion, but wanted our Nation governed in a secular manner. As I have stated before, 'We are a Nation of Christians, but we are not a Christian Nation".
