Misconception About Church & State

There is a huge misconception about the so-called separation of church and state. The United States (according to virtually all the Founding Fathers) was setup based on Christian Principles. All of their early letters say that, and the only contrary evidence is wording in a letter with respect to a treaty that was a covert deception.

In no way, shape, or form was it the Founding Father's intention to "protect" the nation from Christianity, but rather to protect Christianity from the threats it had been exposed to in Europe/Western Asia. 

There is a little word with a big influence in our founding documents. This word is also a name. The name is GOD. God is recognized as presiding over our independence and the day to day running of our nation and the lives of its citizens. All rights are also stated as being derived from GOD.

Keep in mind that not all of our Forefathers were actually Christians, some were Deists, but the Bible was recognized by all as being the framework for the Law of the Land. (Most of the Founding Fathers were, however, Christians at the time of independence - and a number of the ones that were not went on to convert to Christianity later in life -  including George Washington.)

John Adams famously said (and wrote to his wife) that without God and the Bible the nation would never have come about; They were its basis. Even Jefferson made sure that the Federal Government gave Bibles to schools. (They did not adhere to this modern notion of a separation of church and state as we do today.)

We have no formal national religion, because of the numerous sects of Christianity and the protection given to it and them from the start. The huge misconception about church and state is that some kind of a wall was put in place to protect non-religious people from religion. Again, that is a lie. 

The Founding Fathers also agreed that religion of various types served to stabilize the people, and was a positive force for law and order and morality. This is not a paper or scholarly work (which I have done on the subject, but rather a basic BLOG POSTING that is factual...
