I keep hearing the phrase "Judeo-Christian principles that this nation was founded upon" and want someone to explain these principles. As far as I am concerned, if credit for the ideas (principles) that this nation was founded upon is to be given, then it must be given first to the Greeks & Romans and second to the great secular thinkers of the enlightenment. Both Jefferson & Madison while practicing (to varying degrees, and with varying levels of sincerity) Christians also left us with many warnings regarding the influence of religion, and they most assuredly meant the one they were familiar with.
