[QUOTE="jcolanzi, post: 150387, member: 7817"] I applaud much of what Trump is doing but, I'm disturbed by the constant push of Christianity and the false narrative that we were founded as a Christian nation. This is not true. Religion has been used throughout history to excuse many evil deeds. Just ask the Native Americans, blacks, Chinese etc. Here's what the founding fathers really said. “The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” 1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by Founding Father John Adams “Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law. Take away the law-establishment, and every religion re-assumes its original benignity.” Thomas Paine “Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.” Thomas Jefferson, “No religious doctrine shall be established by law.” Elbridge Gerry “Experience witnesseth that ecclesiastical establishments, instead of maintaining the purity and efficacy of religion, have had a contrary operation. During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.” James Madison This is just the tip of the iceberg of what can be found in the writing if the founding fathers. I'm not out to bash Christianity, but it worries me because it's a falsehood and if we're to move forward as a nation it should be based on truth. It also worries me because I'm not a Christian and how can I be free if I'm bound by laws based on Christian tenets rather natural law. [/QUOTE]
