All one has to do is look at a map of D.C. and the inverted 5 point start is apparent. Seriously folks, I am not saying our nation was founded by satanists but I don't think they were building a Christian nation. Just look at the dollar. "Novus Ordo Seclorum". New Secular Order. Secular folks. Free of religion.

Being Religious and Being Christian are not the same thing. The founding fathers were very christian men and our founding documents reflect their beliefs throughout. "all men were created equal". The key word there being "created". Thats just a start and it goes on and on from there. Free from secular order means that no religious institution will rule over this country. Religion could have easily at that time referred to Muslims as well as Christians and Hindu and so on. Yes everything in our founding documents is based on the fundamental belief of Christ.

Sorry. You're the one with the misconception. You're an example of the "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing) dictum. If you look at many other features the founders set-up, you will see a fairly clear Christian bent, but without the "old country" attitudes of state-sanctioned religion.

That doesn't mean free of religion, it means the government is NOT one based on religion.
Every person in this country has the right to practice whichever religion they choose, like it or not.
The problem is not religion, its the peoples ignorance to how our government is supposed to function. The Federal government has no business in 90% of the issues they meddle in.

Yeah, yeah, and the White Album drove Charles Manson to his murdering rampage. When are you nutjobs going to give it a rest with all this conspiracy crap? The Rothschild family is dying off faster than you can study their supposed "history."

Christmas bells
Oh Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
bringing cheer to all who hear
And good will, to man.

Explain all the references to God in the Constitution and early U.S. documents if the founding fathers weren't Christian.
