Well if you still have shame there is hope for you yet zeo.
OwlLawyer wrote:Okay, first, you anti-Semetic dipshit, the Masons are not in any way inherently Jewish... so... um... nice reading comprehension.
Many of the founding fathers were Masons, and none of them were Jewish.
And did you read the part where it said "Neo-Nazis believe it is a Jewish Conspiracy..." Guess what that makes you?
Oh, and finally, wikipedia is HARDLY the authority on ANYTHING, as their system allows anything to be changed in the "encyclopedia" of there are enough votes to change it.

2. National anthem, and most patriotic songs, were written or adopted AFTER the founding of our country. Note: Pledge of Allegiance added the words "under God" during the NIXON administration. Not by Jefferson. EDIT: What does the National Anthem have to do with Christianity anyways? You might learn the words someday, they don't mention Jesus either. Or God.
3. This country was founded on the principle of freedom. Freedom from Kings, income taxes (ha!), and tyranny of any form. Including, or many more accuratly especially, religious tyranny. Until recently, there have been very few, if not no, more oppressive religions than Christianity.

Next....PLEASE explain how Christianity is "oppressive"? Maybe you should hang out in a Muslim country where woman are required to cover their heads and walk behind their husbands! Let me re-word your statement so that it is accurate... Until recently, there has been very little Christian bashing and or banning. "Happy Holidays" has replaced "Merry Christmas" so as not to offend the 5% or so that call themselves atheist. Yes the majority are now required to bow to the will of the minority! Wake up! The men who founded this country were God fearing... and as you can see, alot has changed since then.

The founding fathers were deist; i dont' knwo too much about it except that they believed god created things and that science was an art of finding out how god's creations worked, so it appealed to intelectuals who weren't completely against the notion of a god. They DID however reject any writing claiming to be the word of god, so thats no to the bible + jesus therefore not christian

I believe the name of the publication this comes from is American Demographics:
Overall, fewer people practice or preach at all. One of the most dramatic changes recorded by the survey is the sharp increase in the number of Americans who do not subscribe to any religion (a category that includes atheists, agnostics, humanists, secularists and those who do not identify with any religion). Their number has more than doubled from 14 million in 1990 (8 percent of the total population) to 29 million in 2001 (14 percent), and seems to be trending further upward. Of those professing no religion, 35 percent are between the ages of 18 and 29, while only 8 percent are over the age of 65. Looks like the next generation isn't only choosing their religion, their losing it as well.
