Every atheist clings to Jeffersons letter he wrote concerning the fears that psycho religions would rule the government. Which is one of the few times that the words "seperation between church and state" appear. He was noting that the government wouldn't be ruled by psychos similar to those of England.

They saw the Judeo-Christian beliefs, which many of them held, to be far superior. Even the vague notion that the founding fathers wanted this nation to be ruled by atheism is absurd. THe idea that atheism is a lack of belief is absurd, it is considered a world view, a religion. It would simply take the place of religion, hence forcing the idea that no greater power exists other than themselves. The founding fathers knew there needed to be a morale basis. 1st part: They didn't write the amendment to have freedom from religion, but freedom of religion. 2nd part: They also didn't want the government ever to force a particular religion upon us. If you think the two words, "under God", is forcing a particular religion on people, then i feel sorry for you.

Maybe you should find a country that was founded by atheist, you might be happier there. End of discussion for me. Have a good day. And if you are one of those people who think that most of the founding fathers were atheists. You might want to research what the first act/order of congress was after the signing of the Decleration of Independance.
Bah I'll just save you the time. It was to say a prayer, a prayer to guide their thoughts and actions as to better serve the people that have given them the power to govern. SO much for those atheist.
