Large numbers of Americans believe the founders intended the U.S. to be a Christian nation. The belief is especially strong among Republicans and their white evangelical base.

The headline mispelled “Morons” as “Many.”

Many don’t believe that the founders intended for the USA to be a Christian nation. Morons do.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli

The Treaty is often cited in discussions regarding the role of religion in United States government for a clause in Article 11 of the English language American version which states that “the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”

Signed by founders, we don’t even have to wonder what their thoughts were. Leave your shitty religion out of government.

I have no problem with Christians. I have a problem with whatever GOP-supporting assholes call Christian, because it is nothing like what Jesus would teach/do.

What drives me crazy is the rationalizations around this they make when even without it, its clear most of the founders were rationalists. There is a reason jefferson rewrote the gospels without the supernatural as a morality tale.

I hate this timeline. How do we make so much progress only to stumble when the idiots are hung up on fake issues to an extent that they’re willing to fundamentally change the country.
