Sigh...
You're wrong. "MOSTLY" Christians. NOT partly, MOSTLY.
Once more a final chance for furthering your education:

Take the opportunity! It won't hurt a bit! Actually consider not regurgitating what's been programmed in, but learn the truth! After all the truth will set you free, and should YOU decide to learn the truth, you might just learn there really IS a God! You might find you simply LOVE Jesus! You DESERVE the truth!
No, MOST were Christian, and the so-called "deists", as the site says, like Benjamin Franklin, believed in the Bible.
"In short, should you decide tomorrow that you no longer believe in any God, your rights as a citizen of this country would remain unimpeded."
I'm glad that you totally agree that non-believers aren't threatened in any way in this country, REGARDLESS of what Christians are doing! It's so sad that the ACLU can't seem to understand this message and continues to be so insecure that they feel threatened by Christians freely practicing their faith in public and feel an overwhelming need to BAN BAN BAN nativity scenes, santa and so forth!
But of course, this isn't what this is all about. This is all about the deterioration and outright war on Christian heritage and culture from the left.
But anyone (with the ability to objectively understand another person's values and what is important to them), can easily understand that the ACLU, when it singles out Christians by attacking decades established nativity scenes, and banning the word Christmas from school calendars, among other things; can see that Christians are under attack. NOT Jews, muslims, or atheists.
What's TRULY amazing, is that Christians ARE so tolerant, that they didn't feel so insecure that they felt the need to actually chisel in the Ten Commandments onto those "blank" tablets Moses is holding on the Supreme Court Building!
BTW, it's the 10 Commandments all right. We all know it is, just because it's blank only means that people thought even the simplest of minds would understand that Moses didn't have blank tablets given from God!
As has been said, it's symbolism, not the actual tablets!
If I saw a bronze statue of Brett Favre in Green Bay (or anywhere for that matter), and there was no G inscripted on the side of his helmet, I would still understand he was a packer when he goes into the HOF!
Well, aren't you special. Not only a self-righteous newbie, but a condescending one as well. Rather odd for one parroting the blatantly false revisionism of the "Christian nation" crowd.

I suppose swallowing whole the phony "history" at that site can be painless, if you are so inclined, but most of the folks at this site prefer their history unadulterated.
After all the truth will set you free, and should YOU decide to learn the truth, you might just learn there really IS a God! You might find you simply LOVE Jesus! You DESERVE the truth!
So you presume that I am not a Christian? As I warned you in an earlier post, you may want to do a little reading around here before launching into your banal little lectures.
I know it's hard to believe, but there are a great many conservative Christians on this site who disagree with the clap-trap you're peddling (clap-trap that has been well hashed over here and thoroughly debunked in the past). It's never wise to presume that you are personally the very embodiment of Christianity, not the least because it demonstrates a very un-Christian level of hubris.
No, MOST were Christian, and the so-called "deists", as the site says, like Benjamin Franklin, believed in the Bible.
Please. Read something other than the cereal-box "history" touted on the Christian Nation websites.
It's so sad that the ACLU can't seem to understand this message and continues to be so insecure that they feel threatened by Christians freely practicing their faith in public and feel an overwhelming need to BAN BAN BAN nativity scenes, santa [?] and so forth!
This is all about the deterioration and outright war on Christian heritage and culture from the left.
So what you're telling me is that someone is stopping you from:
-- practicing your faith;
-- going to the Church of your choice;
-- listening to and watching any of the ubiquitous dedicated Christian radio, television, and internet sites that broadcast free from any interference;
-- going to any of the hundreds of dedicated Christian bookstores available;
-- reading any of the hundreds of dedicated Christian magazines and books available in the marketplace;
-- personally speaking about your religious faith on street-corners, in the public square, or in your campaign for public office (heck, it has become virtually mandatory that you announce your religious piety to get elected to office in this country);
-- giving your money to any of the thousands of Churches, Christian charities, or Christian advocacy groups of your choice;
-- etc., etc., etc.
No? I didn't think so.
But none of that is what you're really interested in, is it. You don't have much interest in personally practicing your faith. What you want is for everybody else to practice your faith. And for the infidels who refuse to do so, you want them to pay homage to you and your faith.
You want to appropriate public buildings and property to erect monuments to your particular brand of Christianity (which apparently includes the worship of Santa Clause, a sect I'm not familiar with).
You want to make it law that everybody bow down to your alters and to your monuments, and that everybody listen without dissent to what you have to say. And by golly, if folks aren't cow-towing to you and your whims, then that-there is stone-cold evidence of persecution!
Sorry, bub, but the public square is for everybody. Speak your mind there, but construct your monuments on your own property.
And knock it off with the embarrassing and juvenile claims of persecution. You're no more persecuted than your average spoiled five-year-old griping about the size of his Christmas morning haul.
