I'm sick and tired of the notion that America was founded on Christian values. In fact, the Constitution has clauses that attempt to bar any religion from entering government. Before you fall back on "In God We Trust," you should know that the phrase did not become the nation's official motto until an act of Congress in 1956.

Finally, the founding fathers had a diverse spectrum of beliefs, but few were actually Christian. Most were secular humanists or deists that believed in human rights they were born with, not given by a god.
