"In no instance have . . . the churches been guardians of the liberties of the people."
"Every new and successful example, therefore, of a perfect separation between the ecclesiastical and civil matters, is of importance; and I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity the less they are mixed together" Letter to Edward Livingston, July 10, 1822
-James Madison (known as "Father of the Constitution")

"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity.

-Thomas Jefferson [1743-1826] 3rd American president, author, scientist, architect, educator, and diplomat. Deist, avid separationist.

-John Adams [1735-1826] 2d President of the United State

Now please tell me, that this country was found on "christian" moral. when it seems most of the people that designed our government, and the way our constitution is set up spat on the name of Christianity, and all most the basic idea of a god. If any of these men/women came back and saw how the constitution was being "interpreted" and how the country is blindly lead by faith based Bureaucrats. They would probably have never have wrote what they did.
Leave your Religous biased at the door, and vote for SOCIAL equality, and progression.

Not only the rejection of god (and there by the disbelief of) but the rejection of modern religions and all its teachings.
