America WAS a Free Nation!

I seem to recall hearing in school that america had religious freedom. The founding fathers may have been nominally christion, or at least deist, but also were willing to discuss religion frankly. They had an open mindedness that was perhaps odatious for the time. If what they meant by "religious freedom" was actually the freedom of choosing your brand of christianity, then who cares? True religious freedom is essential to our way of life. Anything less gives the lie to our claim to being a free country.

I don't understand how calling something christian, like a country for example, makes it a good thing. If its good and it's christian then christians may be proud of it, but if its not and it's christian, then they should be assamed. Not call it christain as if that makes it good. Christianity, no dought against the teachings of jesus, has been used to justify all maner of war and atrosity for the last 2000 years. In this it is not alone among religions.

I'd like to sugjest that greater good will come from tollorence than from exclusion. I can tollorate chuck hemrick's close minded supersitious deist dogma. Opps, did I say that out loud?
