I would suggest you seriously study the history of this country instead of just spouting rhetoric. America is not now and never has been a Christian nation. It was not founded on a belief in God. Please note Article 1 of the bill of rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;". There you go, as you can plainly see, America was founded on the concept of freedom of religion. Worship who ever you want or not at all. Compare this to the first three of your ten commandments and then tell me honestly where this founding belief in God is.

Also you say, "you dont have to use our money.". Well what pray tell are we without faith supposed to use? I am an American citizen and have been one since birth. Since the majority of businesses in this country don't accept Francs, Pounds, Rubbles, or Gold Bullion, what should I be using for currency?

Before blindly responding to an article you read I would suggest you think a little next time and maybe use a spell checker.
