[QUOTE="dh1, post: 150395, member: 2831"] I think when people say that, they are being typically inarticulate. What they really mean is the gov was separated from government but still upon benevolent values that are mirroed in religion as well. Don't kill, don't enslave, don't force beliefs, etc. They mean America was found culturally under Christian beliefs(all the colonists were Christian by a huge percentage) but the gov was not. Government isn't America, people forget that. American government is the LACK of government. I think it's due to modern people associating America with a government identity. I think of America(well the constitutional republic that went bankrupt and no longer exists years ago) as like a hole on the surface of the planet where government didn't exist. Everywhere else gov was like a blanket covering all countries like a plague. American colonies were the freest place in the entire world. Almost no laws at all. Even less after the revolution. To settle this argument, ya can say the cultural values of the society(christanity) are reflected in government by default. Not by decree which it obviously wasn't cuz the framers really hated the Church of england gov and rightly so. Gov still reflects the values of the people subconsciously. Would have to cuz it's a republic democracy. [/QUOTE]
