Most liberals simply don't realize that the First Amendment was not intended to protect government from religion. It was meant to protect religion from the government. It worked for about two hundred years, but then modern liberals reared their ugly heads and declared otherwise."The Separation of Church and State is in the 1st Amendment."
Gads, you're an imbecile.
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.
Since we have established that the US was not founded on any particular religion , I guess the Fed and State govs should refrain from any religious talk, laws, and religious symbols on government property.
Oh? Where and when was that established? Certainly not in the 18th Century, leftist.
Why is there a Yuge chapel in Congress, hmm?
Were not days of prayer and fasting called for by the President back in the founding days of this country ?
You damn right there were. You may as well take your revisionist history ball and slink home. Homie ain't playin' that.
Don't care about source, info is good.The actual documents still exist, so you may as well give that up.
When our leaders used to call us to prayer and fasting
No you take your revisionist history and put it where the sun doesn't shine. The US was not founded on Judeo - Christianity.
It doesn't matter what they use to do the fact remains , the first amendment is freedom of religion.
Proof? If you haul out that Jefferson thing, talking about the Barbaric Muslims, that's fail, k?
Just so you know in advance.
Know why the Marines are called "Leathernecks"? They wore leather neck protectors to guard against the Barbary Muslim Pirates' behead attack.

So the pirates used swords well they should of covered all their bodies with lots of padding. What did the Marines use? Knives.
No one is saying some of the founders were not religious but the US was built on freedom of religion which means it was not built on Christianity. St Paul, or Paul, does tell the slaves how to behave and submit to authority, so perhaps it was.
The Magna Carta was the influence in the US. England were anti Catholic and anti Jews and it came to the US soil as well. Protestants ruled, those most were deist and Unitarian, Puritans(Adams), and very anti catholics

The only RC that became Potus was killed.
"The democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase in human history . . . It was written in Magna Carta."
