“What’s that?” (the Judeo-Christian tradition)

Well I see you’ve given up on the argument over Judeo-Christian values existing in our founding documents and have decided to now attack the proposition by whipping up an argument over the existence of any such thing as a Judeo-Christian tradition. If I were to ask an observant Jew about the Judeo-Christian tradition, it would likely be Dennis Prager, but if you bing the subject “Judeo-Christian tradition” you will get 1.3 mil results (we all know you wouldn’t actually get that many results, but you’d get a bunch), including some that are militantly hostile to the whole idea. Ought to be a lot of argumentative material there.

You’ve been asked (several times) to give a source (when? and who?) for your claim that Adams wrote a letter stating that the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion. So far as I know, you haven’t answered that completely reasonable request (not to me you haven’t, for sure) choosing instead, like a drive-by journalist, to go galloping off on another quest. I’ve given a cite for every one of my claims. This conversation stops until you return the courtesy.

The source of the letter was given by another Freeper before I had a chance to reply.

BTW, I am not attacking Judeao-Christian values. I know that most Jewish sites question the suggested continuity between Judaism and Christianity the way most (mainline) Christians would question "Chrstian-Mormon values" as a common denominator.
