Alliance's Thesis on the Separation of Church and State
Alternate title: Why it Doesn't Suck to be Secular



[Introduction]
As an American, I am proud of my country's heritage. A nation of freedom. A nation of mixed culture. A nation of religious choice.

Theoretically.

It astounds me to see the number of people who believe that the United States was not only founded on Christian principles, but is primarily a Christian nation. And furthermore, these opinions are being stated as hard fact.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm not sure what is being taught in schools these days, but I can assure you that these "facts" are anything but.

-[Jefferson Letter]
-[Congress Discussing the Establishment Clause]

[Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11]

["Under God" in the Pledge, and "In God We Trust" on currency]
-[The Cold War]
