Should move out of America and start their own Theocracy in which they base all of their own laws on biblical law and only allow other Christians to be a part of their society? Perhaps it could say something like " Freedom only for Christians" Instead of Freedom of Religion. They could pray in schools, teach Creationism and live in the happy utopian society that they so much crave. Thoughts?

Actually Deuce, You are incorrect. Although the DOI Mentions a "Creator" It does not specify which one. Secondly the Constitution does not mention Jesus, The bible or God. So yeah.....Try taking a history class.

Adams signed the Treaty of Tripoli (June 7, 1797). Article 11 states:
"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion."
From Jefferson's biography:
"...an amendment was proposed by inserting the words, 'Jesus Christ...the holy author of our religion,' which was rejected-----'By a great majority in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mohammedan, the Hindoo and the Infidel of every denomination.'"
"Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus." --- Thomas Jefferson
"Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together." -- James Madison

Our founding fathers were christian men that wrote the Constitution so that all men were created equal. So how come you don't bring other people into the mix as everyone has perverted our Constitution. Its clear that your mentality is what has perverted this country. When all races and religions band together to bring back morality and justice. Then we will be rid of ignorant people that don't take responsibility for their own actions and immorality. Quite frankly I don't think Christians are mad about our Constitution just fighting for their rights the same as everyone else. There was prayer in school when I was a kid the secular world is the ones that removed it from schools. I have an open mind and am willing to learn as much about our world as I can. Even though I may not agree I am willing to hear what other thoughts and opinions are out there in order to make an informed decision about all subjects. We all make a choice as to what we believe and who we are. So wake up and smell the coffee and open the mind that God gave you to think with.

The answer to your full question: yes.
What defines Christians is placing ourselves in a culture that is hostile to our faith and overcoming those challenges so that we can return to Heaven with honor.
Any Christian who seeks to make the entire Earth into a nanny state and limit the choices of others is nothing less than a fascist. There's a right and wrong to every question, and there must be opposition in all things for good to exist.
Those who think otherwise are not only un-Christian, but also un-American.

I'm an American Christian, and I'm glad that we have a secularized government. The absolute last thing I want is for the United States to turn into a theocracy. For those who wish to live under theocratic rules, they can move into their own compounds and do whatever they like, but I personally hope that America continues to have separation of church and state. Concepts like Dominionism scare me.

Your right the constitution does mention a Creator but as far as which one, only one God is referred as the creator of all.
Why don't you see how many of the signers declaration and constitution were Christians, you will be surprised.

Oy Vey. The Constitution is not entirely secular and neither is this nation. You can continue believing that if you want, I will continue relying on all the evidence to the contrary.
Certain Atheists always say they are logical and educated, yet when it comes to the history of this nation; they are clueless and ignorant.

I know. So we can have freedom 'from' religion in a nation ran by atheists like Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China, and Pol Pot's Cambodia.

I know of no one who is unhappy with the Constitution. I do know of people who are unhappy with the US currency, though.
I think people in ANY group are unhappy with things about America, but that does not need they need to move away.
Would you think that all atheists ought to leave here and start their own atheist country? Of course not!
So why would you suggest that Christians leave?

It is not a secular Constitution, the problem is Anti-Christ Judges.
