HUH?? Ooo-Kay...Islam, Wicca, and even Secularism Humanism for that matter, operate and worship under the good graces and tolerance of a Christian taught and inspired "tolerance" whether you and others concede this point or not...

Sorry to disappoint, but if you read the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson makes the point that the country was born to satisfy any manner of Deism, or even a complete absence of Deistic belief.

Maybe you don't like it. Maybe I don't. Tough. It's (partly) why the country was created.

Thomas Jefferson seems to be the only "Founding Father" along with Benjamin Franklin cited to be mere Deists...

Adams, Madison, Webster, a huge majority of the signees of the Declaration of Independence, and other "genuine" Christian forefathers seem to be conveniently ignored.

Nonetheless, while they all envisioned a nation of citizens respecting the faith of others, I can't imagine they imagined any Wiccan governors or town Elders. Ever.
