The US Constitution that grants freedom to all was framed originally by Christians who based all the principles from the Bible and thats why its sealed in the first words of the "Preamble".

You are quite mistaken and it appears you are hoping to spread your misinformation. Do your research properly next time.

Insult the Constitution by practicing the rights granted in the first amendment? How? And many of the "fathers" were uncomfortable talking about religion.

And the Preamble reads, "We the People, of the United States of America, in order to form a more perfect union...." doesn't say anything about the bible or god anywhere.

What is it that you think is "sealed in the first words of the 'Preamble'"? The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution reads

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America".

I've got a strong suspicion that you're one of the many anti-American Christians who doesn't know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. In fact the words "God" and "Jesus" appear nowhere in the U.S. Constitution, and religion is mentioned only twice. One of those times is the prohibition on religious tests for public office, and the other is the First Amendment's guarantee.

It's utterly clear that the Founding Fathers deliberately avoided establishing a national religion. The U.S. is not Christian, nor is it even officially religious. Our founding document - the Constitution - is crystal clear on that fact.

That's why the anti-American religionists rely on selling propaganda to undereducated Americans who don't know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration, who see "In God we Trust" on their money and think that makes us a religious nation, and who didn't know that the words "Under God" were only added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, by a group of cowards in Congress who caved in to Stalinism during the Cold War.

On Judaism - clarifications... - all of us can completely convert to Orthodox Judaism. in any different case - I delight on your understanding Judaism isn't pushing itself on others! Abrahamists - Judaism is amazingly different than the two later religions. Lumping jointly does not make experience. On evolution, maximum Jews have faith it as technology. faith & Torah are understood the two on their very own & as an allegory - no longer actually the way "non-evolutionists" take it to be. Any Orthodox Jewish religions do no longer tend to contradict the technology itself. neither is there any attempt to instruct it as against technology. on the thank you to respond to the question - purely a number of Christianity has the non-evolutionist perspectives. anybody else sees their mythology as a manner of expressing what befell - no longer interpreted completely actually.

"Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear."

-Thomas Jefferson

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

-Signed by John Adams

Congratulations on being brain washed.

The christians who framed it had the wisdom to limit the power of religion in this country. I have no problem with that decision and I only wish it was enforced as it was supposed to be. The sway that christianity has been allowed to execute in politics is unconstitutional.

Christianity had nothing to do with the Constitution.

Read what Madison and Jefferson had to say about it.

You know that many of the founding fathers had a lot of negative things to say about Christianity. Many were Deists. Not Christian.

yes by all means. and the people that point to the treaty of Tripolli might want to note that that sentence was taking out of the treaty when it was renewed 8 years later. by are founding fathers on the purpose of our government and Jesus. the most foretelling of all these qoutes is that of John Adams. also James Madison purposed the current division of government in 1787 after reading Isiah 33: 22, which describes the three different parts of God.


Thomas Jefferson: "The reason that
Christianity is the best friend of government
is because Christianity is the only religion
that changes the heart."

George Washington: "... whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor..."

John Jay was the first Chief Justice of he Supreme Court. He said, "Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers. And it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of a Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers

lament that we waste so much time and money in punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them…we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government; that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible; for this Divine Book, above all others, constitutes the soul of republicanism.” “By withholding the knowledge of [the Scriptures] from children, we deprive ourselves of the best means of awakening moral sensibility in their minds.” [Letter written (1790’s) in Defense of the Bible in all schools in America]
• “Christianity is the only true and perfect religion.”
• “If moral precepts alone could have reformed mankind, the mission of the Son of God into our world would have been unnecessary.”

"Let the children who are sent to those schools be taught to read and write and above all, let both sexes be carefully instructed in the principles and obligations of the Christian religion. This is the most essential part of education”
Letters of Benjamin Rush, "To the citizens of Philadelphia: A Plan for Free Schools", March 28, 1787

here is what Thomas Paine had to say
“ It has been the error of the schools to teach astronomy, and all the other sciences, and subjects of natural philosophy, as accomplishments only; whereas they should be taught theologically, or with reference to the Being who is the author of them: for all the principles of science are of divine origin. Man cannot make, or invent, or contrive principles: he can only discover them; and he ought to look through the discovery to the Author.”
“ The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools, in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only, has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism. Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of his existence. They labour with studied ingenuity to ascribe every thing they behold to innate properties of matter, and jump over all the rest by saying, that matter is eternal.” “The Existence of God--1810”


and George Washington

It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible.”

“What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.” [speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779]

and last Noah Webster

In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.”
[Source: 1828, in the preface to his American Dictionary of the English Language

“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.” [Noah Webster. History. p. 339]

“The Bible was America’s basic textbook
in all fields.” [Noah Webster. Our Christian Heritage p.5]

“Education is useless without the Bible” [Noah Webster. Our Christian Heritage p

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798


The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity… I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.”
• “[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.”
–John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved

here is what Thomas Paine said as a sumation of his A Discourse At The Society Of Theophilanthropists, Paris

If we unite to the present instruction a series of lectures on the ground I have mentioned, we shall, in the first place, render theology the most delightful and entertaining of all studies. In the next place we shall give scientific instruction to those who could not otherwise obtain it. The mechanic of every profession will there be taught the mathematical principles necessary to render him a proficient in his art; the cultivator will there see developed the principles of vegetation; while, at the same time, they will be led to see the hand of God in all these things.

this is all wriitten in his Existence Of God peice.
