| Jump to Survey | well that is interesting, but I don't watch TV. I am sure that just as many Left Wing Non-christians make up polls...
I agree though that stats are not reliable. A poll can be made to get the answer that you want by the way you make up the questions. | | Jump to Survey | All the polls I have seen say that the majority of Americans support a strike on Iraq, though they would prefer the UN to approve first. | | Jump to Survey | As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion as it has in itself no character of enmity [hatred] against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen [Muslims] and as the said States [America] have never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
You must not have read the article.
It says that the GOVERNMENT was not founded on any christian religion. That doesn't mean that the nation was not christian. The Federal government was formed in such a way as to prevent "state religions" (a national religion) that controlled the people and took away their individual rights. That is why the Constitution of the US says in
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
This didn't mean that we weren't a Christian nation, only that our government didn't run our religious beliefs.
The evidence is still there that our nation was and is still considered a christian nation.
