You are an idiot of DU dimensions. The racial and religious politics you engage in is no different than the worst of the RATS. Go to DU with that nonsense.

The greatest chief justice America ever had appears to strongly disagree with your anti-Christian bias:

"The American population is entirely Christian, and with us Christianity and Religion are identified. It would be strange indeed, if with such a people, our institutions did not presuppose Christianity, and did not often refer to it, and exhibit relations with it." John Marshall, in a letter to Jasper Adams, May 9, 1833, JSAC, p. 139. Marshall was Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1801-1835.

Going to back to 1833 for support? Just as weak as your lame defense of Meirs was.

Second, I am Catholic myself. Thus, your assertion is not only false, but one given with zero facts whatsoever.

"The American population is entirely Christian, and with us Christianity and Religion are identified.

This, of course, is no longer true, as America is composed of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and atheists.

John Marshal was obviously not prescient and his words have no application to today's environment.
