Founders

in anticipation of getting my history geek on this weekend, I ran across this little known document. from the Treaty of Tripoli (circa 1796), signed by President John Adams, June 10, 1797:

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."


that should put an end to all this "U.S. founded as a Christian nation" blathering from the Fundies.
...well, we can hope, at least.
