The history of the US has substantiated her opinion, but that opinion is not borne out by the experiences of many many other countries, where state religions happily co-exist with complete religious freedom.

But you yanks certainly have been thoroughly brainwashed to think otherwise!

Many Americans seem to have this implicit belief that what they have is the best, but all too often that belief relies on a lack of information about the world at large.


Our founding fathers were quite clear that there should be no religion in government, and they left God out of the Constitution. It is a secular document, like it or not. Our nation was founded by a majority of Freemasons, not religious fanatics.
