I do not disagree...many of the nations founders were firm believers in their chosen Christian God.

But, I still feel that Christians would object if the Government forced them to state a belief in some other God or to defer to some other God for whatever reason.

The power of the state should not be used to impose personal God beliefs on others....we should all be free to hold and state our beliefs openly..but the fact that Mr XYZ Founder was a Christian does not give the Government the right to force me to practice Christianity. When it comes to practice, the Government should be neutral.

WHO is suggesting otherwise?
