So, again, confused person states that this country was never meant to be a "christian" nation. That statement is true, as far as it goes. But the fact is always missed that our founding fathers ALL believed in a higher power, a CREATOR, who endowed we the people with our rights. Rights that should never be ascribed to a secular government. The idea of "separation of church and state" that everyone throws out when the subject is raised never came from the Constitution. It came from the Federalist Papers, written after the ratification. Yes, I know, everyone will talk about the "mormons", the "christians", the "jewish people", the whatever. All these names putting the screws to everyone, making the name the product, not the message. This country was started with the idea that all men (using the term to mean all of mankind) are created equal. If men do not or have not lived up to that ideal, including the Founding Fathers, that simply means that we all fall short of the ideal set by our Creator. That does not mean we should throw out the ideal. By and large, if you believe in a Creator, that usually means that you have some sort of moral code, which, if adhered to, will guide you through life. I think that was what the Founding Fathers wanted, a moral country. Instead, we have allowed the dilution of our moral codes to spread to every aspect of life, and we are all the poorer for it. That code was well understood by the people of that time, so they did not include it in their business dealings, of which the Constitution certainly was. If you look at all of the papers, letters, and writings of the time, there is no shortage of references to religion.
