The Bill of Rights was an over due correction to our Constitution and has absolutely nothing to do with christian anything.
Christians may claim to have influenced it but that claim is as vacuous as most of their claims.
I am always amazed at the claim that our country was based-upon christian principles, whatever they are.
You'd think that by the time a student gets past middle school he/she might remember the actual principles upon which our great nation was based.
These principles are real and have zero to do with christian claims. Next they'll be telling us that Einstein was a true believer.

It isn't part of the Bill of Rights, but part of the Constitution is based on orthodox Christian values.
For example, Section 2 of Article I states that slaves are three-fifths of a person, and Article IV states that slaves should be returned to their owners. Related Biblical directives, for example, could be found in Leviticus 25:44-46, Exodus 21:7-11, and Ephesians 6:5, among other places.

The Puritans and the Pilgrims have been 2 distinctive communities. As for buying God and Christianity out of public existence it comes from many fronts. >>There are those (minority) communities which equate "Christianity" with "slavery" , "colonialism", and "racism" and subsequently oppose it. (i'm no longer asserting it rather is honest or actual, yet that that's believed by potential of a few people.) >>There are those irrational kinds which have merely been raised to think of faith is the basis of all evil and by no potential question this dogma. >>There are atheists that are bitter and hatful in direction of a God which they declare they do no longer beleive exists, yet I actual have a tendency further and extra to beleive that this team dose infact belevie in God and hates him besides.(lots of those people become Christians later in existence.) I see this style as a conflicted and competitive. >>There are the actual atheists which think of the authorities could mirror there international view, becuase (they declare) that's the only rational veiw. (it is not rational in itself, yet basically in gentle of the premises,that are unverifyable oppinions, they carry being actual. we are able to declare this for the different faith or non-faith besides.) be conscious: this team might vote yet are no longer very vocal, that's consistent with a view which sees this existence as all we've. >>There are the Secular Humanists: those persons are the issue they seem to be an intensive and extremely vocal minority team which if that they had the potential might set inquesitions. i might have confidence those people in potential as much as i might have confidence yet another pope with secular hegomony. the possibility in those lies of their dogmatic ideology wether marxist or anarchical or in any different case. The Nazi and the Soviets the two held simalar anti-faith, anti-prestige que, potential to the state sort of ideologys and so the secular humanists have a similar sort of potental for fanatical anti-religiuios violence because of fact the main radical of Muslims instruct on the turn facet of te coin. some strategies:those are my strategies which come from my own oppservations and that i do no longer declare it to be something much less or greater.

Oh, that's funny. I like the link between freedom and free will. Christianity is apparently the only school of thought in all the world that believes in free will.
