Lucky you. You glean the fruit of religious freedom based upon what the founding fathers took from the Bible (even non-Christians like Jefferson took much from the Bible)...yet you seemingly reject the rest of the faith beliefs many/most of those founding fathers adhered to.

Is this another way of saying you, for some unknown reason, give a crap that I don't have the same religious beliefs as the founding fathers (many of whom acted in entirely un-Christian ways)?

I think you need to worry far less about what other people do & think if it doesn't directly involve you.

Yes. (I do care for you and your long-term spiritual welfare)

That's your spiritual libertarianism coming out. That religious viewpoint may work for you to some degree, but you can't expect it to be imposed upon others... ...I mean here you adhere to some form of spiritual libertarianism (you think people's shouldn't worry about others' beliefs)...
...and yet you're quite directive for somebody supposedly so "libertarian" ("...if it doesn't directly involve you" butt out kind of impositional language). If you were truly more "libertarian" in what one believes, you wouldn't care what I said.

...many of whom acted in entirely un-Christian ways

What does an "un-Christian way" mean to someone who isn't a Christian?
