"My friend...Judean/Christian Values never governed a nation as the have America"

There are those here who would most heartily agree with that and thank-God for it...though not for the reasons you doubtless believe.

Orthodox Christians would argue that "Judeo/Christian Values" of the highest order formed the basis of every element of the governing of the Eastern Roman Empire for at least 1000 years. Copts would argue that those same values formed the basis of the government and society of Ethiopia for substantially longer than that. There are other examples, TIF.

Now, if what you mean to say is that a particular subset of Calvinist values never governed a nation as those values have America, I think we could find a consensus to stand behind that one.
