Ttown Texas..please go do some actual research into our founding fathers and their beliefs in regards to religion and this country..seriously..most were deists..they clearly stated MANY times that this is NOT a christian or secular nation by any means..DO NOT misconstrue history and what our founding fathers stood for..they would not like the term "god" being on our money or in our pledge..since both were added during McCarthyism during the 50's..they knew religion belonged in the home and in the church..its blatantly obvious you know nothing of our founding fathers or what they stood for..

 "The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion."

~1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by John Adams

"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to
liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses
in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the
support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

~Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to Horatio Spofford, 1814

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."

~Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

"The civil government … functions with complete success … by the total separation of the Church from the State."

~James Madison, 1819, Writings, 8:432, quoted from Gene Garman, "Essays In Addition to America's Real Religion"

"Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion and Government
in the Constitution of the United States, the danger of encroachment by
Ecclesiastical Bodies, may be illustrated by precedents already
furnished in their short history."

~James Madison; Monopolies, Perpetuities, Corporations, Ecclesiastical Endowments

"We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth
and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition …
In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our
boast, that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of
the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the
highest Offices that are known in the United States."

~George Washington, letter to the members of the New Church in Baltimore, January 27, 1793

"Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which
are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the
most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in
hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the
present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every
denomination so far that we should never again see the religious
disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society."

~George Washington, letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE..
