The country was founded by liberals looking to get away from "Christian-Judeo values". They set up a secular nation where all people of all faiths could practice their religions without the fear of being persecuted by "Christian-Judeo" values.
I like this whole new "Christian-Judeo" values thing..too. For the longest time Christians and Jews didn't get along all that well.
Figures a New york idiot would say something so stupid.. The pilgrims were running away from religion?
this country was founded on rights god given rights "endowed by their creator" it doesn't push any single religion we have a "secular government" not a secular nation
The values are called Judeo-Christian because they derive from the complementary ideas of free will, the moral accountability of the individual rather than the group, the spiritual imperative of imperfect manÂ’s struggle to do what is right and the existence of true moral law in the teachings of Christ and the Jewish prophets.

Of course your history probably comes from reading the back of Bazooka Joe wrappers while cutting history class.
And depending on what "pilgrims" you were referring to, there were many attempts to establish colonies in the United States, yeah..they were fleeing religious persecution.
And there was quite a span of time between the settlements and the colonies. There probably weren't any "pilgrims" writing the Constitution..which doesn't include the word "god" by the way.
No where in the bible (at least to my knowledge) or the Torah are included any "rights". There are however, "recommendations" on how to treat other people, including slaves. What religion demands is "faith". And your reward comes after your death.
