The founders and framers of the Constitution deliberately underpinned its core with Judeo-Christian principles because they understood the value and need for a familiar common measure and standard with which to anchor the legal system of a budding new country. There have been many that have tried to usurp the founders well framed work and are still attempting to do so; it remains underpinned by those same Judeo-Christians principles. The nation was not founded, "by Christians," it was founded by conservative men of principle and conviction of diverse spiritual beliefs. Nutty right wing extreme fundamentalists broke away from the rule of England and formed this country with their blood, sweat and tears; the enlightened liberals of the day wanted to appease the crown and remain under its authority. Whose revisionist history have you been studying?

Nutty right wing extreme fundamentalists broke away from the rule of England and formed this country with their blood, sweat and tears; the enlightened liberals of the day wanted to appease the crown and remain under its authority.

Whose revisionist history have you been studying?

All of them use fear as a tactic to advance their agenda. This was a nation founded by Christians, but it is not a Christian nation. If it were, it would have said so in the Constitution. To the contrary, the Constitution specifically bans any religious oath for any public office. Furthermore, the Treaty of Tripoli, supported by 100% of the Senate, and signed into law by Pres. John Adams,stated that we were not a Christian nation. Many of the prominent Founding Fathers were deists and educated in the ways of the Enlightenment. A number of them were Freemasons, who accepted God in the broadest way. Don't try to revise that history.
