I agree in part. I think his treaty provision went too far when it said "in NO sense."
Given the First Amendment, I agree that it is not founded AS a Christian nation -- or as a Jewish Nation -- or as a Deist Nation -- or as a Muslim Nation -- etc. Freedom of Religion means that no one religion is dominant or favored.
On the other hand, there IS a sense in which the founding of the Republic was premised -- at least in part -- upon our Judeo-Christian roots.
I can't wait to see how many people disagree with him. And why.
It would not have been constructed in this way without the founders being Christians. Muslims would never have come up with this type of government structure. Nor would Buddhists or any other group of people. Christians are the only group that would even think of allowing the practice of other religions as a matter of course.
