    Our country was indeed founded on Judeo-christian principles.Just look at our currency "IN God WE TRUST' The founding fathers were for the most part believing Christians and that the future strength and unique meaning of the country profoundly depend on how these principles impact on the way we presently govern and live. America is the strongest,freest,most Generous country in the world but our experience of freedom is a direct outgrowth of the Judeo-Christian religious structure.This religious dimension is foundational to our liberties Our Liberty is in peril if the Judeo-Christian consensus weakens.
    Secular systems boggle and weave with high sounding phrases,but ultimately slip into ambiguity trying to find a lasting reason for universal respect and equality.

    Question: WHEN did the words 'IN GOD WE TRUST" first appear on our currancy?
    Answer: 1861. During the Civil War. I'm pretty sure our Founding Fathers were pretty much dead by that time.
    Question: When "Under God" appear in the Pledge Of Alligence?
    Answer: Here is the Pledge Of Alligence in its original form... “I pledge allegiance to my flag and the republic for which it stands: one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.”
    The phrase, "Under God" does not appear until 1954. I am certain they were all dead by that time.

    The Founding Fathers left England BECAUSE of the Power Of The Church. They wanted a country where they were able to choose a religion of their own, instead of being told which religion to follow.

    Finally.. I always wonder why people bring up the "In God We Trust' thing on the money. To me... personally... associating God with money (ie. Wealth) is... well... kinda creepy. To me, I think... ironically, that it CHEAPENS the Name of God. Especially to someone like me... who deeply respects the teaching of Jesus Christ. I do not recall Jesus being about monetary wealth and riches... maybe He's different in your Bible. I don't know... maybe it's just me.

    I seem to remember something about him going to a temple and casting out all the people profiting on the word of god.

    Then there was that quote about "render unto caesar that which is his." But what the hell do I know?
