What an ass. People like that always think our country was founded on Christianity. They're annoying. I wrote a paper about it that I like quite a lot: http://raven-arani.livejournal.com/69506.html There's some good info in there showing just how wrong they are. One of my favorites is, "However, nowhere does this point come across as clearly as it does in the Treaty of Tripoli negotiated under President George Washington. This treaty, signed in 1797, was an accord between the Muslim area of north Africa and the United States. The document was approved by the senate and declares, “[T]he Government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion” (qtd. in Boston 224). "
