We hear in Canada too that this country was founded on Christian principles. That's bull. It was a land grab that succeeded. People who bring up the religious origins of either the US or Canada have a very tenuous grasp of history. They tend to spout something they've heard from a close friend of someone they knew who had it on good authority who met somebody who thinks they remember speaking with the guy that was near where what occurred may have happened. Neither country was founded on religious principles. Save that for the roses next spring.
