But I also feel that your view is inherently flawed because it suggests that any religion is intrinsically better (in a moral sense) then atheism.

I don't recall saying anything close to that. :) There is only one "religion", and then there is everything else. Christianity alone defines what is moral and what is not. There is no such thing as comparing one person's morals against another's. There is only each person's adherence or not to the only morals that exist.

Can you show me why any religion is better?

You personally? No, because I would use the Bible to do it. :) However, I'm sure that I could show many other people why Christianity is superior. It is unique.

And it’s the only religion with a Saviour who died for us and rose again and is coming again. THAT is unique, hallelujah.

Well the Founding Fathers didn't think so, as at least two were deists and two were Unitarists who, by your and my definition of Christianity are not Christians. Any mention of Christ is conspicuously absent from the Declaration of Independence, and the only reference to "God" is the one that says "endowed by their Creator, with unalienable rights." The Declaration also mentions "Nature's God" entitling them to Independence. Chirst is never mentioned.

There is nothing in the Founding Declaration of this Country's existence that says Christianity is the only true religion and source of morality that you claim. If anything, it proclaims that the rights are endowed to all humanity and that all humanity has the same rights. I would say that is as unbiblical as it gets.
