[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once again, the curiously ignorant reaction by a small vocal group in the progressive movement has demonstrated how incompatible their ideas and goals are with the principles that has made this country great.[/quote]

Please show me in the US Constitution where the United States of America is a Christian nation.[/quote]

religion has ZERO place in government

A number of the original states had established churches in their constitution at the time of the founding which enforced religious taxes on their populations which continued until the 1830's.  Laws prohibiting certain religious groups from holding office continued through the first half of the 19th century.

[b]The 1st amendment establishment clause was there because of those established churches[/b], which were an outgrowth of several colonies originally being religous colonies.  Setting one particular church up as the national established church would have caused considerable problems in the late 18th century.

I'm amazed that people don't remember this from history class.

You can certainly make an argument that the national government was not a Christian government, but the fact is that several of the States were religious governments.  You would have to note, that the social and cultural norms of the United States have been and still are Christian.[/quote]
