Strange title, not sure where its going...however, to those that believe the USA was founded on christianity is far from the reality of the situation. many of the forefathers were outspoken against the "hypocrisy and evils" of christianity....


Treaty of Tripoli

Article 11:

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

This Treaty received ratification from the U.S. Senate on June 7, 1797 and signed by President John Adams on June 10, 1797.
