I think that you are missing the depth of Christian beliefs that were present/needed at our founding.

There is some quote by (one of the Adams?) stating that our form of government is only meant for a Christian, moral people. (I probably mangled this, but its close).

We are living on a reservoir of Christian faith that founded this great nation. Sadly, that reservoir is declining, hopefully it can be turned around.

Shouldn't you be having this conversation  with hripka?
 
 
It was this that got you started posting a doocument from the US Government, that you think makes us NOT a 'Christian' nation.
 
 
BTW, #398 never CLAIMED that we are a 'Christian' Nation, merely that Christian BELIEFS and a Christian MAJORITY. and Christian FAITH were a driving
 (but now declining) force with which to be reckoned.

But the very core of conservatism is that the Constitution was created to protect us from the tryanny of the majority.
