Answer 2

Understand that most Christians confuse the colonization of the Americas with the founding of the nation.

The original settlers were overwhelmingly Christian, and were moving specifically for that reason. In this sense, many of the colonies were founded as Christian colonies. This started to see a rapid downfall, however, after the Salem Witch Trials, when the governor of Massachusetts forbade spectral evidence when the girls pointed their murderous fingers at his wife.

When the founding fathers came together, most were Christian in one form or another, but many of the authors of the documents were in fact Deists. So why did the Christians sign off on Deistic texts?

Had any one of the Christian groups won, the other groups would have been slightest. The Deists really ultimately had no stake in that war, so were a logical neutral position, and one that ensured that no matter what faith was believed, it could be practiced in good faith so long as the civility of the society was maintained. Thus, the Christians among the founding fathers knowingly and intentionally signed off on Deistic documents, to ensure their own continued freedom to worship as they saw fit.

The physical colonization was Christian in origin, however, the legalistic founding of the USA (the Declaration of Indepedance and the Constitution of the USA) was Deistic in nature, and did not describe any one true correct religion. In fact, the Declaration references only once the Creator (a term Deists use since it's the only definition they ascribe to the divine), and the Constitution never mentions a creator at all.

Further, Washington signed off on the Treaty of Tripoli which outright stated that the USA was in no way founded as a Christian nation -- which is true. The nation was founded on Deistic principles, even though the colonies were founded on christian principles.

Once you separate the two types of involved 'foundings', the issue becomes very clear.

Answer 3

Number 3 is incorrect. That was put in during the McCarthyism of the 50's. The original pledge did not contain that line. Do your homework.

So much for the separation between church and state.

Answer 5

On the currency of the US as of 1950 it says "In God We Trust". The national motto of "E Pluribus Unum" is also present on all US currency as well.

Each day the US Congress opens its session with a prayer...but not necessarily to any particular God. There have been various ministers from many Christian denominations that have opened the sessions with prayer as well ministers from Unitarian-Universalist fellowships, Hindu priests, Buddhist monks, Imams, Rabbis, etc. So far no Wiccan or Neopagan has yet been invited to offer an opening prayer, though, but most other religions practiced in the United States have had several of their religious leaders open the sessions of Congress with a prayer (or their religions equivalent of prayer).

The US Pledge of Allegiance, which was originally a poem written by Baptist minister to celebrate the US centennial in 1876, was altered first in the early twentieth century and then in the 1950s the phrase "under God" was added by an act of the US Congress thus making the Pledge read "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and for the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." It originally read from 1900-1950 "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and for the republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." This, tho, is a direct change by the US Congress from the actual written and copywrited work of the author (so apparently Congress can violate copywrite laws when declaring something a national whatever) which the author's actual words are "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." For the record not only is there a national pledge there is also a national creed which reads: "I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the People, by the People, for the People; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; A democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many Sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of Freedom, Equality, Justice, and Humanity for which American Patriots sacrificed their Lives and Fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to Love it; to Support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to Respect its Flag; and to defend it against all enemies." Oddly few Americans actually know this. :(

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr said "I am only a servant to Jesus Christ" and repeatedly talked about the unity of humanity and the need for peace and acceptance of all of God's children. His nonviolent protests and marches were largely influenced, according to MLK himself, from the work of Mahatma Mohandas Karmchand Gandhi and his teachings. MLK combined the nonviolent teachings of Gandhi with the compassion of Jesus in his efforts to bring about change and end injustices....some of which have been taken care of and others still exist for US citizens still and they continue to fight for their rights and the end to injustice upon them....despite not having leaders as great and influential as MLK, Gandhi, etc in their midst.

Peace be with you.

Answer 6

Do you think that by posting this question twice it will somehow make your belief that we are a Christian nation - not founded for the most part by Christians, but that the founding fathers intended for us to be a theocracy - valid?

Answer 9

Okay, I have a question for you. Why are you asking questions that you already know the answers to ?
You're supposed to use this site to gain knowledge. You're using it to preach.

Answer 10

I think everyone knows the answers. But let me ask you this, it says God, it does not say which one correct? You deity's name isn't "God", that is a position title.

And Red Mage is right, the first three are unconditional to begin with.
