The idea of "one nation under God" is a modern one - and does not date back to the Founding Fathers.
Christian America is an invention: Big business, right-wing politics and the religious lie that still divides us - Salon.com
I always believed America was a Christian nation. I remember Washington's profound quotes regarding Christianity and its role in the life of Americans. I am totally OK with people of different faiths coming and joining our diverse family, yet the foundation of this country lies in the teaching of Jesus Christ. Previous generations of Americans built their morals and social standards with the Bible in their hands.
To my mind denying the role of Christianity in the past and present United States is another attempt of liberal lobby to shift public perception of faith and traditional values. There is no need to deny our own culture in order to please foreigners and minorities.
