Good work. However I don't think this will change the minds of Christian haters here on FR or in the US population.

And I continue to wait patiently for information on The Church of the United States where the head of the church is also the President of the United States. Until I get that info, I'll concentrate on more pressing issues than the fradulent seperation clause.

"However I don't think this will change the minds of Christian haters here on FR or in the US population."

Christian haters? It really amazes me how strong the "You are either for me or against me" mentality is. I am in no way a "Christian hater", but as I don't want any religion mandated by law, so I guess I would be included in that group.
If the Founding Fathers really wanted to set up a Christian Country governed by the Christian Bible, why was it not included in our Constitution?
John Adams, of Massachusetts, Noah Webster of Connecticut, James Wilson, born in Scotland and later of Pennsylvania and John Jay of New York, would be expected to favor a limited Theocracy. The colonies in New England were founded by religious fundamentalists, and that tradition remained strong.
Remember however, that there was more to the Thirteen Colonies than just New England. Virginians were instrumental in the creation of the Bill of Rights, and the Freedom of (or from) religion was and is an important part of that addition.
