AMERICA WAS FOUNDED AS A CHRISTIAN NATION

I have heard by some in this Nation that America was not founded as a Christian Nation. I will let the facts speak for themselves. Pay close attention to the words of our Founding Fathers. This post is for those who keep stating that our Constitution does not have any religious foundation.

Why does the US Constitution exempt Sundays? Why does the US Constitution end with "Year of our Lord"

Out of respect for the "Religious Tradition" of the citizenship. And, thats the colloquial standard for dating documents back then. It's not an advocation of ANYTHING! By your argument, a Shipping Manifest so dated is then a Founding Document.

So are those against America being a Christian Nation saying that both Chief Justice John Jay and Justice Joseph Story lied? Amazing...lol

I guess the treaty that ended the conflict between Britain and the US also means nothing to them.

"The Definitive Treaty of Peace 1783
In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity. "

Who is this undivided Trinity?

Who signed this treaty?

Done at Paris, this third day of September in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-three.

D. HARTLEY (SEAL)
JOHN ADAMS (SEAL)
B. FRANKLIN (SEAL)
JOHN JAY (SEAL)

You may not know Hartley but you should know the rest.

Also as was pointed out in the Arabic version of the Treaty of Tripoli, why did the Muslims refer to America as Christian?

The same Congress that ratified the First Amendment wrote the Northwest Ordinance. According to the United States Code, it is one of the four principle documents on which our nation was founded (Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitution, and Northwest Ordinance). It says, “Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall be forever encouraged and established in the Northwest Territory.” [note: it says that religion is one necessity for which schools must be established.]

Congress later required that all territories becoming states must have Constitutions which were “not repugnant to the Northwest Ordinance.” For example, the Ohio constitution says “religion, morality and knowledge being essentially necessary to the good government and happiness of mankind, schools and the means of instruction shall ever be encouraged by legislative provisions.”

The same Congress that wrote the First Amendment also appointed chaplains for the House and Senate and for all the branches of the Armed Forces.

John Jay, 1st Chief Justice of the U.S., appointed by George Washington: “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest, of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians as their rulers.”

John Quincy Adams: "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

Samuel Adams: "We have this day restored The Sovereign to whom all men ought to be obedient, and from the rising to the setting sun, let His kingdom come."

Samuel Adams: "In short, we should teach our young people to study the practice and the exalted virtues of the Christian system."

John Adams: "We are basing the hope of mankind in our ability to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

John Adams: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."

George Washington
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. It is impossible to account for the creation of the universe, without the agency of a Supreme Being. It is impossible to govern the universe without the aid of a Supreme Being. It is impossible to reason without arriving at a Supreme Being."

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

"It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God and to obey His will."

John Adams
"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other." ....so great is my veneration of the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens in their country and respectful members of society."

"The highest story of the American Revolution is this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

Thomas Jefferson
"God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the Gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever."
