"The United States of America is a country founded on Christianity"? Ummm...?

Question

This is the biggest sack of horse sh!t and only an EXTREME MORON would believe something this retarded. The VERY FIRST AMENDMENT of the constitution is based on the Separation of church and state. The paramount reason why the forefathers came to this country was for religious freedom. They listed it as their top goal in forming America. Matter of fact most of the fore fathers weren’t even Christian, but deist, atheist and agnostic. I could site thousands of quotes which piss on this lie from Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Paine, etc. but I shouldn’t need to, considering the reading of the constitution is a 4th grade curriculum requirement.

Answer 1

The government of the United States of America is, in no sense, founded on the Christian religion.

Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11. Ratified unanimously by the senate and signed by founding father and second president, John Adams, in 1797.



The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion." - John Adams



Homeland Security is having to put more and more time and resources into tracking christians who seek to tear up the constitution, destroy democracy and foment a second civil war to install a christian dictatorship!



A chilling warning was issued to US police forces several years back about the threat of a rise in violent right wing and christian extremist groups fueled by recession and hostility over the first black president!



In March last year federal agents arrested and charged nine members of a Christian militia based in Michigan, calling itself the Hutaree with plotting to murder local police. The FBI has also made arrests in Seattle and San Francisco.



Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was charged with attempting to murder the President last year!



Seems these people are not just a bigger threat to American freedoms than external terrorists but completely anti American!

Answer 2

George Washington is an major man in our history however he is nonetheless just one man. The Founding Fathers saw the religious persecution in most of Europe as a real evil. Consequently they especially said that in the us there ought to by no means be a devout scan for political administrative center. At the same time all of the Founding Fathers signed the statement of Independence. It explicitly states that the country is situated on the precept that there's a Creator and that "All guys are created equal." clearly, the Founding Fathers as a group intended to renowned a Supreme Being.

Answer 3

Ok, Let's start with the Declaration of independence. It references a God many times ...Which God? the Christian God was pretty much the only one in the picture at that time. here were a few jews, but, as fitting the time there was antisemitism around.

Second, which religion is able to write a freedom clause ? Historically atheistic countries (commonly communist ones) have worked to squelch religion and freedom of it. Muslim, hindu and almost any other religion has kept an Iron grip on the people under their religion. Only Christianity has historically allowed freedom of religion wherever they went.

third, for your quotes I can offer many others that say exactly the opposite. washington was certainly Christian. Franklin, well, I give you that one. Jefferson was a deist, but not in the classical deist sence....You see there are different forms of deist and Jefferson can be argued as being a Christian Deist. Paine?!? Have you read Common Sense! It's steeped in Biblical narrative! Have you given thought to Adams? Hancock? Any of the others of the contenintial congress or drafters of the constitution?

Adams with his speech "Our brethren are already in the field why stand we here idle" is taken from Ezekiel.



Anyone who knows what western expansion and colonialism was knows it was about freedom of religion, ad freedom of Christian religion with puritins, quakers, and etc.



Learn a little History man.

Answer 4

XAndrewX United-Year of Faith I don't normally like to tease but some ignorance just can't be overlooked without at least an eye roll or a face palm. Not one of those cities was part of the original United States, and most of them were named by Spanish Catholics who wanted no part of a predominantly Protestant United States.



Now look sad and say "D'oh"

Answer 5

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.-treaty of tripoli

Answer 6

You claim to know the first amendment, but you have it wrong.



"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"



Congress will not establish a state church. They will not have a "Church of America" like the Church of England.



That's it. Nothing about not allowing public governments to express the religion of the people who make it up.



Oh, that's the other part Liberals keep chopping off:



"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"



As far as our founders not being Christians.



Here are some of the Signers of the Constitution who had pretty strong Christian convictions:



http://churchvstate.blogspot.com/2007/10/our-founders-were-they-christian.html



•Franklin, Benjamin - Considered much more a Deist than a Christian. He was nonetheless a follower of the Bible, and said: "I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- God Governs in the Affairs of Men, And if a Sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, Is it possible that an empire can rise without His aid?...Except the Lord build the house, They labor in vain who build it." (Delegate to Constitutional Convention, Signer of Constitution)



•Hamilton, Alexander - Proposed formation of the Christian Constitutional Society to spread Christian government around the world. After the Constitutional Convention of 1787, he stated: "For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests." - from Diffine, D.P., One Nation Under God - How Close a Separation? (Delegate to Constitutional Convention, Signer of Constitution)



•Madison, James - Member of the Episcopal Church. He said, "The belief in a God, all powerful, wise, and good, [is] essential to the moral order of the world, and to the happiness of man." (Signer of Declaration of Independence, Delegate to Constitutional Convention, Signer of Constitution)



•McHenry, James - President of the first Bible Society in Baltimore. In soliciting funds for distribution of Bibles, he wrote: "...Consider also, the rich do not possess aught more precious than their Bible, and that the poor cnnot be presented by the rich with anything of greater value." (Delegate to Constitutional Convention, Signer of Constitution)



•Washington, George - Member of the Episcopal Church. In his prayer at Valley Forge he said, "Almighty and eternal Lord God, the great Creator of heaven and earth, and the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; look down from heaven in pity and compassion upon me Thy servant, who humbly prorate myself before Thee." (Delegate to Constitutional Convention, Signer of Constitution)

Answer 7

The Only Moron is You with Your revisionist History you have been brainwashed with Idiot

The Declaration of Independence states that every person has these God-given, inalienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This philosophy is what we could call the “American Worldview,” and it drives everything about the nation— from its economic and foreign policy to the private lives of its people. This is the atmosphere in which most of us have grown up. But can this American Worldview be called a Christian Worldview? Can we really call the United States a Christian nation?

The first amendment was not based on separation of church and state. That ideology came up sometime in the early 20th century by morons that think like you. Or maybe you think their ideology is a good idea.
