That's not my view of religion but it was the view of many of the Framers of the US Constitution.

I can agree with that. Christianity and the church are very important and do great things for this country, BUT when it comes down to the most vicious among us, they also comes from the so called devout Christians. Its like ying yang, God is great, but those that interpret his word are in many cases evil nut jobs.
