The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.
Robert G. Ingersoll .......It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon that book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity of Christ, but the sacredness of humanity. Ours is the first government made by the people for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have nothing to do. And yet there are some judges dishonest and cowardly enough to solemnly decide that this is a Christian country, and that our free institutions are based upon the infamous laws of Jehovah.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state. [Congress thus inhibited from acts respecting religion, and the Executive authorised only to execute their acts, I have refrained from presenting even occasional performances of devotion presented indeed legally where an Executive is the legal head of a national church, but subject here, as religious exercises only to the voluntary regulations and discipline of each respective sect.] Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the common Father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

You are aware that the pilgrams who came and founded this land was actually A CHURCH RE_LOCATION dont you. A Christian church.
You are aware that the 1st action, the 1st bill made into law was the pringting of 200,000 Bibles.
You are aware of course that the Bible was the elementry "PRIMER".
You knew That Harvard, and Princeton and Yale were orignally Christian Seminaries whose purpose was to educate men so that they could go out and teach the Bible.
George Washington, the Father of our Country, required all Officers and Soldiers, not engaged on actual duty, a punctual attendance of Divine Services, to implore the blessings of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense. “The General hopes and trusts, that every officer and man, will endeavor so to live, and act, as becomes a “CHRISTIAN” Soldier, defending the dearest Rights and Liberties of his country.”
John Adams stated in his March 4, l797 Inaugural Address: “With humble reverence, I feel it to be my duty to add, if a veneration for the religion of a people who profess and call themselves “CHRISTIANS” among the best recommendations for the public service.” He also said: “The Declaration of Independence ought to be commemorated as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.” The primary author of this Document mentioned God’s name four times within the Declaration.
On January 21, 1810, John Adams said: “The “CHRISTIAN” Religion, as I understand it, is the brightest of the glory and the express portrait of the eternal, self-evident, independent, benevolent, all-powerful and all merciful Creator.”
It is often stated that Thomas Jefferson was a Deist, however on April 21, 1803 he wrote the following: “My views are the result of a life of inquiry and reflection, and very different from the ANTI-CHRISTIAN system imputed to me by those who know nothing of my opinion. To the corruptions of Christianity, I am indeed opposed, but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus Himself, I am a “CHRISTIAN” in the only sense in which He wished any one to be - sincerely attached to His doctrines in preference to all others.” Jefferson, along with the majority of America’s founders knew that freedom was the gift of God, not the accomplishment of men.
James Madison (our 4th President) called for a National Day of Prayer: “If the public homage of a people can ever be worthy of the favorable regard of the Holy and Omniscient Being to whom it is addressed, it must be guided only by their free choice. By the impulse of their hearts and the dictates of their consciences; and such a spectacle must be interesting to all “CHRISTIAN” nations as proving that religion, that gift from Heaven for the good of man…”
John Quincy Adams wrote in his diary in 1810: “I have made it a practice for several years to read the Bible through in a course of every year.” December 24, 1814 after negotiating the TREATY OF GHENT he stated: “You ask me what Bible? I answer, the Bible containing the Sermon on the Mount – any Bible. The New Testament I have repeatedly read in the original Greek, in the Latin, in the Geneva Protestant, in Sacy’s Catholic French, in Luthur’s German, in the common English Protestant and in Douay Catholic translations. I take any one of them for my standard of faith. My hopes of a future life are all founded upon the Gospel of “CHRIST.”
Andrew Jackson wrote his wife Rachel: “I trust that the God of Isaac and of Jacob will protect you and give you health in my absence…” Jackson apparently knew that there were some people that worshipped foreign gods, and wanted to make the point he worshipped the God of the Holy Bible. In referring to God, our early politicians used other descriptive terms, such as: “The unerring hand of Providence” – “All-merciful Creator” – “Supreme Author of All Good” – “Supreme Ruler of the Universe”.
I am sure you considered all of this when you posted your remarks.

It is protected in article 6 trial for jury, and teh 1789 Judicary Act.
Of course, to say this land was not created with the creators intentions is to ADMIT you have no unlienable rights from said creator ..

Some of the Founding Fathers were Christians. Others were Deists. One can't really say what their inner feelings were. They indeed were guided by a belief in a Supreme Being and that led to our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. One of the vital parts of which is our freedom to worship God (or not) as we please. No, we don't have an official state church, and our first documents don't recognize Christianity. However, Christianity, of all sorts, had a huge influence on our colonists, their descendants, and new immigrants. Our culture is largely Christian in nature, and most Americans claim to have that belief system. In that one regard, we are a Christian nation. |

The majority of the people in this country are Christians and so were many of the founding fathers. However, this country was not founded to be a Christian country or be ruled by any particular religion. The Pilgrims came here to get away from religious persecution, but they started persecuting the Quakers who came. Our government promises religious freedom- to practice whatever religion one wants, or to choose not to be religious at all. It is set up that way so that no one religion rules everyone. When politicians were talking about a Supreme Ruler of the Universe that meant they were Deists (people who believe in one creator God), not necessarily Christians. |

Not founded on Christian religion?
I beg to differ. Does the term Judeo-Christian mean anything?
Yes, this is a wiki post but still has the basis of information
[link to en.wikipedia.org]
Judeo–Christian (sometimes written as Judaeo–Christian) is a term used in the United States, broadly to describe a body of concepts and values thought to be held in common by Judaism and Christianity, which played a prominent role in the founding of America, the development of characteristic American values, the American Revolutionary War and the United States Constitution. Classical Greco-Roman civilization and the Judeo-Christian tradition are considered the two fundamental sources of Western legal codes and morality.
The term refers to a moral tradition based on shared religious scriptures, referred to as the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible in Judaism and the Old Testament by Christians. Michael Novak describes the two core values of the Judeo–Christian tradition as liberty and equality These fundmental American values were derived by the founding generations of Americans in the seventeenth and eigtheenth centuries from their reading of the Book of Genesis, where all humans are said to be created equal, and Exodus, where the Israelites flee tyranny to freedom.[1] Thomas Cahill describes Jewish belief in progress and moral responsibility as a characteristic of American culture that can be traced to a Judeo–Christian reading of the Bible.[2] The term "Judeo-Christian" has been criticized by some theologians[3] for suggesting more commonality than may actually exist.[4]
Historians interested in the foundations of American democracy have written extensively on the importance of the Hebrew Bible as interpreted by the Protestant founding generations. Alexis de Toqueville in his classic 1831 work, Democracy in America, devoted the entire second chapter to this subject.
The immigrants, or, as they deservedly styled themselves, the Pilgrims, belonged to that English sect the austerity of whose principles had acquired for them the name of Puritans. Puritanism was not merely a religious doctrine, but corresponded in many points with the most absolute democratic and republican theories.[5]
Historians interested in the impact of the Hebrew Bible on the development of democracy include those researching the Protestant Reformation. The translation of the Bible into English had a revolutionary impact on English culture by empowering individuals to read and think about the Bible for themselves. [6][7]. (see Wycliff, Tyndale,King James Bible) This led to a religious mandate for public education so that ordinary people could read the Bible. According to the influential author Arthur Hermon, author of "How Scots Invented the Modern World", this development was crucial to the birth of the Scottish Enlightenment and rebellion against divine right of kings[8]. See also the English Civil War.
In the American context, historians use the term Judeo–Christian to refer to the influence of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament on Protestant thought and values, most especially the Puritan, Presbyterian and Evangelical heritage. These founding generations of Americans saw themselves as heirs to the Hebrew Bible, and its teachings on liberty, responsibility, hard work, ethics, justice, equality, a sense of choseness and an ethical mission to the world, which have become key components of the American character, what is called the “American Creed.” [9] These ideas from the Hebrew Bible, brought into American history by Protestants, are seen as underpinning the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. Other authors are interested in tracing the religious beliefs of America's founding fathers, emphasizing both Jewish and Christian influence in their personal beliefs and how this was translated into the creation of American institutions and character. [10]
To these historians, the interest of the concept Judeo–Christian is not theology but on actual culture and history as it evolved in America. These authors discern a melding of Jewish thought into Protestant teachings—which added onto the heritage of English history and common law, as well as Enlightenment thinking—resulted in the birth of American democracy.

"The United States was at its founding, and still is, not only a religious nation but largely a Christian nation," Souder said. "Through Judeo-Christian beliefs that anchor our legal, our economic, our military, and our political system, the balance of powers and constraints upon the state -- and thus upon the majority -- assume the sinful nature of man and one that is not perfectable."
Without a faith grounded in such beliefs, the congressman said, democracy as it is known in the United States cannot work -- and he believes that could well be the case in Iraq.
"John Adams said, 'Our Constitution is made for a moral and religious people,'" Souder noted. "Does democracy in Iraq mean the majority Shia, upon winning, can deny rights to women and to religious minorities, not to mention exact revenge upon the Sunni? Why not do these things if the only standard is democracy?"
He offered a recent demonstration of the nation's morality, whose "premises rest at least upon the echoes and remnants of Judeo-Christian teaching," he says. |

The writers of the Constitution were Christians, and this Country was founded on Christian beliefs. Yes they were escaping religious persecution, and wrote the Constitution to include religious freedoms, for all religions.
BUT that does not take away from the FACT that still this Country was based on Christian beliefs.
Religious freedom, gives anyone here the right to practice whatever religion they like. But the intent was never meant for Christianity to be squashed, or hidden, or silenced, in order to not offend other religions. If having the freedom to worship however you like isnt enough for you. THEN FIND ANOTHER DAMN COUNTRY, THAT WAS FOUNDED AND BASED ON YOUR OWN RELIGION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OR LACK THERE OF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The FOUNDING FATHERS were the ONLY ONES that GOT IT RIGHT!! We have slowly allowed our CONSTITUTION, and the RIGHTS OF CHRISTIANS, to be manipulated, and silenced, to keep from OFFENDING others.

All governments of the world are under the biblical term..."Time of the gentiles" and will remain until the fall of Mystery Babylon the Great which will occur very soon and then the world governments will be replaced by a Biblical theocracy, until the time when the Anti-Christ attempts to overthrow it and take it by flatteries. |
