I Think He Misspelled "Bunch of Idiots" as "Christian Nation"

Maybe I just don't get it.

America was founded on the separation of church and state. We all learned the basics in elementary school. Religious prosecution in England. People wanted religious freedom. Came to New England. Puritans. Quakers. And so on and so forth. So yeah, the first Europeans that came here were Christians. This much is true.

When it came to establishing the country of the United States, our wise founding fathers did not want us to have to go through what happened in England. So they came up with the separation of church and state.

Thomas Jefferson himself, drafter of the Declaration of Independence (which I think might qualify him as a founding father) and a contributor to the Constitution and Bill of Rights stated:

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

Those "Americans" who believe that this country is for "them," meaning white Christians, are the most repulsive and confused people. These are by and large the same "Americans" who think that all Muslims are terrorists or who think that all Hispanics are illegal aliens. They are bigots hiding behind their religion.

America was founded by Christians for the most part. Most of us are Christians. But we are NOT a Christian country.

How can we (theoretically) point our righteous finger at countries like Saudi Arabia and Iran for religious extremisms with these ya-hoos running around? Doesn't it pretty much make us just as bad as them?

The beauty of this country is that even these ridiculous illustrations of American culture are allowed and tolerated. Again, because of the First Amendment. Jesus these people make me crazy! (Pun intended).
