A comment on another post to the effect that this country was founded on religion tweaked me a little bit. So, here's some reading to get the perspectives of some of our founding fathers.
The Founding Fathers Speak Out on God, Religion and the First Amendment
Seperation of Church and State
Notes on the Founding Fathers and the Separation of Church and State (from a theology school)
The Founding Fathers Were Not Christians (Free Inquiry article)
This was from a very basic Google search. As religious teachers are keen to say, ignorance of your sin is not an excuse for it. Falsely claiming a common viewpoint with people of immeasurable importance without doing your research is just as damning.
Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps; for he is the only animal that is struck with the difference between what things are, and what they ought to be. - William Hazlitt
