Quotes from the founding fathers:
-Christianity neither is nor ever was a part of the common law.
-History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes
-Thomas Jefferson
The government of the US is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion
-John Adams
It is a myth that the US was founded as a "Christian nation". If folks like Palin want to believe that, that is fine; it is their right because we do believe in freedom of religion. But when the religious right promotes a candidate like her so that they can more effectively push their values on a nation they believe to be "christian", they are acting in a way contrary to that which the founding fathers would have agreed to. Separation of church and state is the law of the land. We need to keep it that way.
