I wouldn't want to live in an America where a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist or any one of a hundred different faiths was not welcome at the halls of Government.

That is outright dishonesty. Establishing a Christian code as the basis for our laws (as the founding fathers did) does not exclude any other religions. In fact, it actually espouses religious tolerance.

You have warped the words and objectives of these good people. You've twisted the truth and I want all to see that. None of these people you've quoted, or organizations you mention above, claim an objective of creating an exclusive Christian theocracy. None have that objective despite your outright lie.

Chalcedon's definition of "tolerance" and your definition of "tolerance" have a significant delta between them.
