the inscription engraved on the Liberty Bell in 1753 is taken from the book of Levictus in the Bible?
"Proclaim liberty through all
the land and to all
the inhabitants thereof."

Yep. 25:10. So what.
I guess America is a Christian nation now?

Yes.
The source of the inscription is Leviticus 25:10, which reads "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family." The inscription was intended to mark the 50th anniversary of William Penn's Charter of Privileges of 1701.

There are a lot of Scriptures written in the US. People don't realize what made the US so great was the foundation in God. Yes, they were not all model citizens, but who is. Even in Portland we have some scriptures written in a park.

Edit:
Leviticus 25:10....right you are
More proof that the founding fathers relied on God the Father....take that, liberals
