But..for the sake of arguement, lets say you are correct. Then on WHOSE Christian values was the USA based?

The fundamentalists?
The gay Christians?
The Christians who believe that abortion is NOT a sin?
The Seventh Day Adventists?
The Baptists?
The Methodists?
The Catholics?
The Creationists?
The Evolutionists?
Your beliefs?
Mine?

WHO has the 'correct' beliefs that, without which, this nation will fall apart?

[now that sentence truly butchers all rules of grammar..lol]

But I think you get my point. Our foundation is NOT about a certain set of religious beliefs. However, everything we do that removes a piece of another human being's right to "the pursuit of happiness" does chip away at our foundation.
