This country was founded by Christians. They may have had some odd
customs, and they may have made some things "law" that were really
tradition, but thats no reason to reject everything "religious", such as
the principles that this nation was founded on.

America was *NOT* founded by Christians. I'm very tired of hearing that
drumbeat. The founding fathers, if anything, were DEISTs, and/or
ceremonialisyts, and well knew the inherent dangers of including or even
nodding to support any one religion over another in this country and its
government - something our modern-day right-wing Christian brothers and
sisters either don't know or won't learn.

A state religion here would indeed be as dangerous to US national growth and
development as is has proven all over the middle east. Remember: prior to
1979, Iran didn't have either a "state religion," or a theocracy. Now it
does. Was there an improvement?
