It’s too bad so many well meaning Christians believe in such blatantly false statements like America was founded as a Christian nation. The U.S. has never been a Christian nation but instead a nation of religious freedom. Our Founders and the courts have gotten it just about right when it comes to Church/State issues. The 1st and 14 th Amendments limit the power of government to enact laws relating to matters of faith and worship but it doesn’t seem to stop politicians from making more laws for the Courts to strike down. Everyone is free to read the Ten Commandments, the Bible and pray whenever the spirit moves them on public property. You just can’t force others to do it or agree with your particular beliefs. That is not religious freedom. The Founders lived in a time when colonial governments persecuted and executed followers of certain sects like Quakers, Mormons and Baptists. Established “state” Churches forced persons to attend them, collected taxes to support them and permitted Churches to punish sins as crimes. Our courts have done far more to protect religious freedom than those who rant about “godless schools and liberal atheist leaders.” Some Christians subscribe to the “Christian nation” ideology and want America to become a Christian theocracy. There is no Constitutional foundation for that belief. That is why this country was formed.
