For the record, America, like it or not, is a Christian nation, founded on Christian and biblical principles (remember that bit about being "endowed by God with certain inalienable rights?)
Only if you're using a false record.

In the real world, the American government wasn't founded on Christian or Biblican principles. And for the actual record, the phrase is "endowed by their Creator" not God. And the word "creator" doesn't refer to judeo-christian concept of god.

The establishment clause is about establishment of a STATE religion (which is why many of the early settlers left Europe) rather than a total divorce of religion from gov't, commerce, personal interaction etc.
That is absolutely 100% false. The establishment clause was made to keep ALL religion out of government and all government out of religion. It was made to keep them completely and totally separate.

You might not be a Christian or a Republican but you seem to spread some of the same lies of the Religious right. You're either very misinformed, or a liar. I'm not sure which.
