Historically speaking we have two foundations in America. The foundation of the government, and by extension, the nation, is religious only insofar that it recognizes the existance of a higher power, called God as a matter of convenience.
Culturally we do have a Christian base. A huge percentage of us can trace our lineage to the Mayflower, which, as you'll recall, had such a big religous stick of their collective butt that the British, a people famous for buttsticks, kicked them out. I forget the exact percentage, but I think it's in the 70s. At any rate we carry many traditions and cultural values to this day from the Pilgrims. What this means is that, yes, we have a Christian stone or three in the foundation of this nation. That's a big difference from being 'built on Christianity'. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:320700 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
