[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when is religion a core American value?[/quote]

“In God We Trust”

Sound familiar?[/quote]

Dates back all the way to 1956 [/quote]

This quote is a bit older: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." But it's from some dusty document[/quote]

And where does it say that the aforementioned Creator was the God of the Christian right? Jefferson’s “God” is the same as the God of the Quran and people lost their minds in this country over the idea of “sharia law”.

I haven’t seen much deference paid to the Creator of Native people before land was appropriated and destroyed.

So your quote isn’t quite as on point as you seem to think.

I have lost track of the goal posts. Is the standard that I prove we are a Christian nation or a nation with strong religious beliefs? The article said religion not Christianity. People came and still come to America to practice their religion. America has religious freedom not freedom from religion.[/quote]

Freedom from religion IS religious freedom.  I am free to be non-religious. [/quote]
