Whether or not the history recorded in the Bible is true or not is irrelevant to the fact that it is a belief in the religion of the bible which is the underpinning foundation of this country.

True. But also irrelevant to my point. As for the rest of your response, that's a utilitarian argument, which does not require faith to accept, and can therefore be effective even on those who don't share your faith.

You don't seem to have noticed, but my argument was utilitarian in the first place. It was just crouched in religious concepts and terminology.
