America's greatness is because it is a SECULAR nation that does not interfere in the private practice of religions and has drawn a LINE between religion and state. America's greatness is because it is primarily an INDIVIDUALIST nation rather than a socialistic nation (though sadly that is less true every day due to assaults on individualism by lefist socialists and cultural conservatives.)
Like for instance praying in the public square, you know, schools.
Thus neatly skirting the fundamental question of whether America's proper destiny is greatness or goodness.
I agree jlogajan - that "America's greatness is because it is a SECULAR nation that does not interfere in the private practice of religions and has drawn a LINE between religion and state".
However I will add that the strength of most of the individuals who have formed the strength of this country, like John Adams, Samuel Adams, Washington, Madison, and many others, have clearly laid their guidance and foundation directly on the God of the Bible.
As Patrick Henry put it so well: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
Thanks to atheism/evolution---SATAN nation!
Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/PSYCHO-EVO/NWO Soviet-LIBERAL-Socialist America---
the post-modern age of switch-flip-spin-DEFORMITY-cancer...
Atheist secular materialists through ATHEISM/evolution CHANGED-REMOVED the foundations...demolished the wall(separation of state/religion)--trampled the TRUTH-GOD...built a satanic temple/SWAMP-MALARIA/RELIGION(cult of darwin-marx-satan) over them---made these absolutes subordinate--relative...
REDACTING them
and calling/CHANGING---
all the... residuals---technology/science === TO evolution via schlock/sMUCK IDEOLOGY/lies/bias...
to substantiate/justify/validate their efforts--claims...social engineering--PC--atheism...
anti-God/Truth RELIGION(USSC monopoly)---
and declared a crusade/WAR--JIHAD--INTOLERANCE/TYRANNY(breaking the establishment clause)...
against God--man--society/SCIENCE(religious oath-TEST for office)!!

Good News For The Day
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33)
"Once there was a change in our family situation. Our pet dog passed away and we salved our grief by acquiring a new one-a blue cattle pup. He was intelligent and very mischievous. We had a lot of fun with him. while he was small, he would amuse us by trying to catch his own tail and bite it. He would spy the tip of his tail out of the corner of his eye, and, readying himself, lunge at it, as if hunting prey. But of course, the more he pounced, the more his tail moved out of his reach. The only way a dog can really have its tail is to allow it to be an attachment to its main body."
"The... tail comes along just fine---when it is not its owner's preoccupation."
"Jesus advises us that though there are many good and important things, only one can be most important-the kingdom of God and his righteousness. First things must come first. All of life, with its experiences, decisions and relationships, needs to be evaluated in light of the highest ideal."
"When God is given pride of place, the machinery of existence operates at its best."

Creation/God...Christianity---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION!
Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality...
