Tea Party: Why Do A Lot Of You Want To Make The Nation Christian Like The Founding Fathers Supposedly Intended?


I’m not saying all members of the Tea Party make this claim but MANY members rant about it. Also MANY Christians that are not affiliated with the Tea Party make the same claim.
In reality those weren’t the Founding Fathers intentions.
Please read The Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 which states:
“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 tranquility, 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”.http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?col…
