Their religion requires belief in the absence of evidence and some really ridiculous ideas (for example - the earth is 6000 years old) requires belief contrary to evidence.
McWays beliefs on this matter fall into the 2nd category. If he had any intellectual honesty this would have ended with a quick review of the Constitution.
Absence of evidence? You must be smoking a different type of "Straw".
The evidence that this is a Christian nation comes from the VERY MEN WHO WROTE AND SIGNED THE CONSTITUTION, evidence that I've posted repeatedly, right here in black-and-white.
That is what they said of this nation and its Constitution. The fact that both you and Lurker continue to make buffoons of yourself, by not observing what they said about the document THAT THEY WROTE AND SIGNED shows that the intellectual dishonesty (and boneheadedness, for that matter) falls on you.
So, in typical "Straw Man" fashion, you (and Lurker) prop up a bogus requirement, claiming that the Constitution must state America is a Christian nation.
Obviously, the Founding Fathers didn't get that crackpot memo, or they wouldn't have made statements like.....
Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” - John Jay
Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as a subject of the Governor of the Universe. And to the same Divine Author of every good and perfect gift we are indebted for all those privileges and advantages, religious as well as civil, which are so richly enjoyed in this favored land.– James Madison (No, Lurker, he ain't talking about Allah or Krishna!!
)
"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: 'It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity"
"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be." - John Adams
For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests. – Alexandar Hamilton (the "it", of course, IS THE CONSTITUTION, as Hamilton made this statement after the Constitutional Convention).
