America is not a Christian Nation. I wonder what all these good ol boys and girls would have done if the majority of the cheerleaders were Muslims and held up a sign saying “All praise to Allah. Go LFO football!” I guarantee you it would have been a giant uproar, and each of those Christians would have been citing their separation of church and state laws. They love those laws when they protect Christians. The majority of the founding fathers of this nation were not Christians. They were deists and even atheists. They separated church from state due to the corruption inherent in the “majority rule-minded” Catholic Church that existed in Europe at the time. They did this to avoid precisely what it is that you guys are promoting; the mentality that “the majority of us are X.” Therefore, we are an “X” nation. The words “under God” were added to the Pledge of Allegiance during the Great Depression; not by the founding fathers. If you want your kids to talk about Jesus/God at school, send them to a Christian private school. There, they can be indoctrinated in the comfort of their own kind, free from concepts like “evolution, human rights, empathy, and reason.”
