fathers? Guess what, they were Pagan before the Euro trash brainwashed them.

There were no Native Americans in the Philedelphia courthouse, sorry.
I think the 'Christian Nation' is a pathetic argument, but so is Native America Nation.

Why don't you ask my wife to explain your insulting question? She is half Cherokee and guess what...a Christian...a Mormon, a religion you have vilified without any proof.
I have a surprise for you, America was founded as a Christian nation by what you call Euro rash. Why? Because you are so ill-informed about history that you haven't even figured out that the indigenous people didn't call this land America...it was named after America Vespucci.
Enlighten us...what did the "Indians" call this country when they found it? You don't have a clue do you? Are you still a practicing pagan... I've heard that is considered a cult. Look it up in a dictionary...it also means heathen; person who has no religion.

Native Indians believe in the Great Spirit and Earth Mother. They are the true spiritualists! The white men tried to force their christianity and life style on the Natives.

Pure stupidity and wishful thinking. Our founding fathers had every opportunity to make the US a christian nation, and specifially chose NOT to do so.
For some reason, the fundies are not required to study American history.
Just ask them to detail how the 10 commandments have been ensconced in US law as absolutes (as they supposedly are in the bible).
You'll get a lot of equivocations, apologetics, "well, the words don't REALLY mean that". Hell no. Christians don't want to follow all that biblical stuff, they want OTHERS to follow it.

Agreed.
The European colonists that the history books list as the founding fathers weren't Christian either. They were Deist, which is not even related, and they believed in seperation of church and state, not combination of, like most people in this day and age want instead.

They are speaking of the America that they stole, not the America that was indigenous to the Native Americans. They are distinct now bc they didnt let anyone brainwash them, but arrows dont beat guns.

There are those that insist the United States was founded on Christianity when in fact it was founded on hypocrisy. The Christians of that day ignore that "thou shalt not kill" bit when it suited their purpose (i.e., British soldiers and American Indians) and the nation wasn't a democratic republic at its start but only a 'white man rule' nation instead.

BECAUSE CHRISTIANITY IS BASED ON A HYPOCRITICAL BELIEF...CHRISTIANS SAY THEY DON'T HATE OR KILL OR HURT PURPOSELY...
BUT NATIVE'S WERE TORTURED, CUT, SCALPED, DISMEMBERED, BURNT, STARVED, BEAT ETC.ETC. BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY...AND THE NATIVES THAT REFUSED TO GIVE UP THEIR SACERDOTAL BELIEFS WERE FORCED BY THE CHRISTIANS TO GIVE UP THEIR LIVES...
IT'S TRUE...FOR THOSE WHO DISAGREE, DO SOME RESEARCH, AS I HAVE DONE ALOT.
