Quit getting your history from your pastor and read a history book. This country was NOT founded as a Christian nation. The words "God" and "Christianity" appear NOWHERE in the Constitution. "The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."--John Adams, 2nd President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson: “Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law.” James Madison: “The civil government … functions with complete success … by the total separation of the Church from the State.” I could go on for pages of quotes. Your pastor has a POLITICAL agenda to promote the erroneous idea that this is a "Christian" nation. It most assuredly IS NOT.

Thank you. It is amazing how many people believe it has been around for ever. It was invented by some religious nuts in the 1950,s.
