Think about the time, how could the founding fathers have possibly avoided religious influences? In fact, even today we are so steeped in our Christian heritage I do not think we could avoid its influences today. Heck, it is hard to explain why adultery is wrong without some religious upbringing. I do see how the relationship between some Christian denominations and capitalism has tainted both their religion and politics.
You take MI6 bait. You take British bait. Yes, American founders avoided religious influence for damn good reasons. god's law is unchangeable, thus more stupid. American law is changeable, thus more intelligent. This preposition got screwed: from.
It's not intelligent to establish a nation based on contradictions as found in the bible. Your problem seems to now be doubled: not having read RFK Jr., who is running for president, and not having read Seidel, an author you will not be debating without getting roughed up here at USMB. You're on the correct thread. Your problem is education.
Jefferson's wall. Was it only Jefferson's? The influence of protection rackets that confiscate concepts such as adultery and use it for themselves, politicize it, can be avoided in America. In Islamic (capitalized adjective) countries, not so easily. It takes stones to be an atheist in America, let alone the clitorectomy-inducing violence of islamic countries.
Your automatonism repeats the mantras of fear forged by British protection rackets that were copulating with the State.
'Colonial governments were often overtly and officially religious. This is hardly surprising. Every colony was part of the British Empire, subject to the Christian king who headed the Anglican Church. Every colony had an established church, and English common law made heresy - a crime interpreted and defined by ecclesiastical judges - a capital crime, punished by burning in some colonies.

The Texas School Board altered its curriculum in 2014 to include Moses in American history because of his supposed influence on the Constitution. The Ten Commandments appear, often illegally, in government buildings, schools and courthouses around the country. They appear at the Texas Capitol in Austin and on the robes of a judge in Alabama. They dot government property courtesy of Cecil B. DeMille, who promoted his movie with granite monuments and some help from the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
When Bloomfield, New mexico, lost a court battle over a Ten Commandments monument displayed in front of City Hall, Mayor Scott Eckstein was "surprised (by the decision) and had never really considered the judge ruling against it because it's a historical document just like the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights"
The city's reliance on bad history cost the taxpayers $700,000. The commandments are ubiquitous not just because of Hollywood promoters, but because they are argued to be the basis of American law and morality.'

As with xian protection-racketism confiscating morality, Oz never gave something to the Tin Man that he did not already have.
