Anyone who says this Country was founded on Christian principals, is just silly, and lacks knowledge of history. The founding of this Country actually is in direct opposite of what Christian Fundamentalist are pushing today, our founding fathers, believed in Religious freedom.

Btw, I own Religilous, a great movie in my opinion, course I admire Bill Maher.

Hey Justin! Nope, never heard of this Bible! It is written about 1800 years after my area of research! It is pretty fascinating--especiall with John Adams thrown into the mix.

I thought for sure you would have known about Jeffersons bible with your history in all this. While Jefferson did believe in a higher power he did not accept the christian premis as it existed and I am sure he would even be more adamant in his disgust with it if he saw it today.

As far as this nation being founded on Christianity you might be intrested in what John Adams wrote into the Treaty of Tripoli in 1797. We all remember John Adams don't we.

In the 11th article of the treaty this is what is written.

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Now I do believe since he was the president shortly after the founding of this nation we should take his words seriously :) I know it drives the fundies crazy.
