I don’t want to offend anyone, but I have a problem with the govt. funding faith based anything. (with a few exceptions like disaster relief and chaplains in the military ) Our founding fathers were wise to keep the government and religion from being entwined. It’s just to much potential for abuse. And, on a side note, it disgusts me that my tax dollars go to groups like Planned Parenthood.
You have a flawed understanding of history. The founders were well aware and openly said that this country was based on Christian principles and that they were necessary to the success of any government of the people. Oaths are taken on the Bible. Look at what is on our coins and currency, "in God We Trust."
The founders did say, in the 1st Amendment, that the government could not establish a religion (in other words have a State Religion) nor could it prevent the free exercise of a religion. In other words, there would be no Divine Right of Kings where the church and crown were intertwined.
