Support because whether anyone likes it or not the country was founded on that basis and one can track the decline of adherence to that doctrine to the increase in negative social factors such as out of wedlock births, crime and so forth.

It is obvious to anyone that reads the Declaration of Independence or the American Constitution that the foundation of the United States Government was based off of Judeo-Christian values.
The question that you need to ask, is do those values still have a place in the running of our government? This is not an easy question to answer. While the 10 Commandments is a great basis to model your life after, do the 'Actual 10 Commandments' have a place in our multi-religious nation.
Remember, when the Founding Fathers created this nation...nearly all Americans (that were allowed to participate in the American political system) were Christians of various faiths. Today we have grown to not only include more Jews, Atheists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. but we have attempted to correct the mistakes of our ancestors and include the native peoples into our political system.
So the question becomes, do we continue to base our nation on the actual words and symbols of the Judeo-Christian religion or do we keep the basic values of the Founding Fathers and incorporate that into a system free of religious symbolism and words.
EDIT: By the way, to the guy above me. Nearly every culture in the world has stories of a great flood in their history. Historians believe that this was an actual accurance. It is believed to have happened when large ice sheets melted during the great thaw at the end of the last ice age nearly 11,000 years ago.

I definitely support the Biblical position of the Founding Fathers.
The most often quoted authority in the constitutional congress was the Bible. The most oft quoted book of the Bible was Deuteronomy, a book of laws. We know this to be the truth because of the Congressional Record.
The second most often quoted authorities were: Locke, Montesquieu and Blackstone. All professing Christians who wrote voluminous amounts on the Bible and the Christian Faith.

I agree, If the individuals could study the Federalist Papers, the writings of Thomas Jefferson and different founders you will locate that we are rather a Judeo Christian u . s .. it style of feels people choose for to eliminate any connection with faith by using fact it impedes many corrupt values and morals. Separation of Church and State is nowhere interior the somewhat shape, and replaced into no longer even utilized with the aid of the ideal courtroom till 1878 regardless of if the government is unlawful from merchandising any specific faith it does not assure freedom from faith. those of you who say that there are no religious rights written into the checklist would desire to submit to in suggestions that there is not any written ideal to abortion, wellbeing care, jobs, abode and so on...

Like our founders did, I support the fundamental Judeo-Christian values as the foundation of America.

Contempt and much more then that . It would be impolite to mention that they have found that people inhabited the Americas for the last 40,000 years .
That no record of a massive flood ever occurred here and obviously God did not flood the world .
The only reason people claim the bible is no longer the word of God meant to be taken literally is because it can no longer support such wild claims .

No. I only have contempt for Islamic radicals, terrorist supporting Muslims. But I've got good cause, since I'm an American.

Support. Western thought is completely integrated with Judeo-Christian ethos and even Secular Progressives apply the same morality to others. Quite cute, really.

I not only support these values, I believe that these values are part of what makes this one great nation. One of these values is hard work. We all know that hard work and hard workers are the secret to the success of the United States.
