Our laws are based on ENGLISH common law; NOT on Biblical tenents.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story in 1829 wrote, "There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundations."

And in 1829, Catholics weren't considered to be "Christians", in America; Protestants considered them to be PAPISTS, who owed allegiance to Rome and NOT to the USA.

What was the nexus between Christianity and the Rule against perpetuities? What was the nexus between Chrisianity and the common law rule regarding proximate and actual cause?

I was glad to find in your book a formal contradition, at length, of the judiciary usurpation of legislative powers; for such the judges have usurped in their repeated decisions, that Christianity is a part of the common law. The proof of the contrary, which you have adduced, is incontrovertible; to wit, that the common law existed while the Anglo-Saxons were yet Pagans, at a time when they had never yet heard the name of Christ pronounced, or knew that such a character had ever existed.

- Thomas Jefferson, 1824
