[Rita]

How was our country founded on Christianity? The majority of the Founding Fathers aligned with Freemasonry and agnosticism. Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it appeal to God, Jesus, or any other supreme being. This omission is no mistake – the founders intended to keep government seperate from religion. The Declaration of Independence does mention God, but it does not represent any U.S. law. It says that all men are created equal – we all deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Does it say these rights are secured by Christianity? No. It says ‘to secure these rights, ***governments are instituted among men.***’ And if God is all-powerful and all-judging, isn’t God the antithesis of democracy (government by the people)? Besides: even if this country *was* founded on Christianity, it was also founded on slavery. Just because most people didn’t seem to mind ‘In God We Trust’ 150 years ago doesn’t mean it’s appropriate today.
