I just saw this article. It is nicely written but I must contest Mr. Norris, this country was NOT universally founded on the belief of god, as has so blindly been taught. Here are a few 'proofs'
“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” John Adams, Treaty of Tripoly, article 11
“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. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.” Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia
“Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.” James Madison, April 1, 1774
“The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.” Benjamin Franklin Poor Richard's Almanack, 1758
