The Truth of what our Founders were about is that they were for the most part Christian men who had seen what happens when Religion rules the State and when the State rules Religion and they set out to FIX that. They created the first written Constitutional government that codified freedom of religion and kept ANY religion out of governmental law. No one had ever done that before. That is the awesomeness of it....and to say they created our government based on ONE religion's tenets is denying the awesomeness of what they did. What they DID.
The only thing regarding religion they concerned themselves with in the law was to ensure that the government would not be given any say in what person's believed in matters of religion/faith/church/spirituality and would not be able to either reward nor punish people for what they believed. That in turn required that the Church would not be given authority in government.You and Gadawg seem almost desperate to believe that meant there are no Christian concepts contained in the wording and structure that the Founders gave us in the Declaration and the Constitution. And you keep insisting on that despite reams of evidence to the contrary.
What you said there is EXTREMELY True and I applaud you for saying it so clearly.
Now...not to bust your bubble...what is the Christian principle in that?

Well you didn't seem to get it the first ten or twelve time I've explained it, but once more and then I give up:
The principle is to recognize, protect, and defend the unalienable rights of each person. In order to do that, there must be restraints on religion as well as every other aspect of government so that an authoritarian church or any other ideology cannot take away a person's unalienable rights.
The principle of unalienable rights arises out of Christian faith and was believed by the Founders to come from God. It did not arise out of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism, or any other religion. It was uniquely a Christian concept of what government should be.
The Atheists, radical left, and extremists all should be giving thanks to visionary Christians who made it possible for people to be Atheist, wingnuts, and extreme with impunity. We are the first nation in the world to recognize protection of unalienable rights as the primary function o government and to implement it.
Now, if you don't understand that, there's nothing I will likely say to convince you.

There is nothing quite so pathetic as one who strains at gnats to avoid acknowledging the truth in the obvious. The phenomenon is so prevalent among the radical left and the radically anti-religious that I think it must be what Michael Savage meant when he coined the phrase: "liberalism is a mental disorder."
I do wonder what they fear would happen to them if they embraced the truth of what our Founders were about even if they do not personally accept those concepts. They can't even seem to appreciate that it was BECAUSE the Founders saw unalienable rights in the their faith and implemented them in the Declaration and Constitution that our contrarian friends have the right to disagree that such exists.

I give up. When a plethora of credible and verifiable rebuttal to a mantra has been provided but it is ignored while the same wrong mantra, with no supporting evidence, is repeated again and again, the only logical conclusion is a) the person is being intentionally dishonest; b) the person is an idiot; c) the person is uneducable; d) the rest of us are piss poor teachers.
I'm going with "C" on this one and I blame liberal brainwashing. Or Obama. Or Bush. Or potty training. Or something.
