The Christian States of America?

There is no “true” religion. A critical distinction few Americans realize is the difference between the freedom to, as opposed to the freedom from. This aside, our country was founded by a group of secular humanists (albeit some were Deists, though these are not mutually exclusive belief structures) in a manner that allows everyone the freedom to practice whatever they wish so long as everyone is free from the opinions of others. The very concept of a separate church and state implies that ANY religious belief structure must fundamentally be removed from the state. References to “God” made by men like Franklin were to a greater understanding of the universe as a whole and not the Judeo-Christian god as so many would like to claim. References to “God” in various documents were commonplace for the time, and are in no way restricted by a narrow opinion of the title often given to the Judeo-Christian Deity. There is nothing to say that the God in which we trust is the God of Adam, David or Abraham.
