"So what? When has anything ever been decided with a 100% of people agreeing?"

Because there was a diversity among the founders and if they intended the US to be a de facto Christian nation they would have said so, would they not?

"Congress shall make no law respecting the exercise of religion.........." Notice this is inclusive of all and generic in nature. It has served us well for over 200 hundred years. No need to elaborate on it.

They did not want the government to establish a national religion that is the extent of religion and government in the constitution. No where in the platform does it say that the RPT wants to have government establish a national church that is Christian in nature. All they are saying that when founded the country were founded on Christian principles (which is true) and that shutting religion from government is wrong (which it is) and they want it to be known that "The party affirms freedon of religion, and rejects effots of courts and secular activists who seek to remove and deny such a rich heritage from our public lives." People are reading way too much into this.

No need to elaborate on it? That is not what they are doing. No where in this plank or platform does it say anything about having one religion over another or one religion is superior or one religion is right and all others is wrong. All they were saying is that we were founded as a Christian nation and as such the courts should stop legislating from the bench in denying this history. It is quite clear and simple.

"There was a diversity among the founders..."

PU-LEEZE..."Diversity among the founders"??

Yeah -- one was an Espiscopalian, another a Quaker, another a Baptist, etc....IOW, 95% Christian and 100% Euro-Western.

Would you would classify the colors 'flat white,' 'eggshell white,' and 'bright white' as "diversity"?

"...And if they intended the US to be a de facto Christian nation they would have said so, would they not?"

Man -- some of you people are thick....

Look, do yourselves a favor -- when you hear news about "renewing the Crusade" (note the capital "C") in the name of 'Christian Nation' (note the capital "N"), then you present NO logical argument.

Until then I can assure you it's safe come out from under your beds.
