If you don't like the FACTS that the writers of our constitution meant for us to be a secular republic and even stated "the united states is in no sense founded upon christian principles", why don't you leave for a theocracy?

I knew the fundies would not understand the part about freedom of religion. They believe the lies from the pulpits.

And of course, they misssed the sarcasm, since a fundie twice posted the same question telling atheists to leave. Oh, well, you can lead a fundie to reason but you can't make them think.

Article 11 of the Treaty With Tripoli, passed unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by President Adams in 1797: "The United States is in no sense founded upon Christian principles"

I think they understand the founding and they intensely dislike it. After all, what was written in the Constitution is a 360 from what the Puritans believed. It would seem that for them, they wish to bring this country back to the intolerant stance it had at its founding.

I want neither a theocracy nor a secular state. I want a place where I can practice my religion in peace. This means that I don't force it on anyone, nor do I have to hide any vestige of it from the public. We were founded upon Christian principles by and large, and by a mostly Christian populace. I have no problems with menorahs or kwanza items, just don't make it a crime to put a up a tree or a manger.

Please explain where it says "the united states is in no sense founded upon christian principles"
The pilgrims came here to freely practice their Christian beliefs without the King stepping on their practices and forcing Anglican doctrine and belief on them. So, to say this country was and is supposed to be secular is probably incorrect. America's founding is painted all over with a very Christian paint brush, whether you want to believe it or not.

If the U.S. was NOT founded upon Christian principles, I really would like to know upon WHAT principle it was founded.

So, which part of Freedom of Religion don't you understand?
Sorry, we were here in the beginning and we are not going anywhere...
So when are you leaving for your Darwin island where the strongest survive.
Oops that's right, only the strongest survive! I suggest you hang with us Christians. We will accept and protect you.

If you don't like the fact that this country also has freedom of religion, then maybe you should leave.

Yup! If you want to live in a country ruled by religion, try Iran!

I guess some people just can't live without hating other groups of people for whatever reasons... *shrug*

Because they like that other bit about religious freedom and freedom of (hate) speech.
