No. I'm American. Christianity and Judaism permeate every aspect of our government, and the judgements which ultimately rule this country. Even down to the "Pledge of Allegiance" taught to our schoolchildren. Down to the reasons we send our young people off to die. Down to the reasons we are willing to kill others, who do not subscribe to the same beliefs.
I had a co-worker tell me, "Americans are entitled to freedom of religion. Not freedom from religion. This country was founded by Christians. Anyone who wants religion to stay out of politics should go live somewhere else."
I've heard those sentiments echoed, in one form or another, by many. Given the current state of affairs in this country, it would seem she is correct.
