our leadership does recognize christian values and beliefs. due to the fact we have a separation of church and state, government is not run by church values which is EXACTLY as it should be. and everyone is entitled to practice their religion as they wish as long is it harms no one else be it any sect of christianity, shinto, buddhism, muslim, wiccan or santeria. welcome to freedom of religion 4951

Do you ever wonder if they had the mind of Christ when they wrote the constitution? Their mindset when putting the pen to paper? Did they have something to keep in mind when they wrote? I ponder this because I know when I write I could have a hidden agenda or not. I just read "Freedom of Religion" by, J Edward Evans. Very interesting. 4951

I don't necessarily think it's religion we need. Maybe more like morals, kindness, and general non douchebaggery. You can have religion and still have lawlessness going on and people that are morally corrupt. Just because someone is religious doesn't make them "good" and someone that isn't religious isn't automatically "bad". We just need to hold ourselves and each other to a higher standard. If you reach that through religion, great. If you don't, the more power to you. 4951

@bp2018: This.  Exactly this."Christian values"...like killing off the Pagans, 200 years of Crusades, labeling people as heretics or witches and killing them, centuries of religious wars, 1300 years of oppression of science and research that we now call "The Dark Age", invading and ravaging both North and South America.  History is very clear that the author of "We The People" was himself a deist and not a Christian, as were many of his contemporaries.  He didn't believe that Jesus was the Messiah.  He was open about it, as were his contemporaries.  The Constitution itself doesn't mention religion in any capacity even a single time.  You have to look at the First Amendment (respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof) and Article IV (prohibits "religious tests" for public office) for the only two references to it at all.  The idea that America is a Christian nation has no merit.If you're not a good person you lack empathy, not religion.I do agree that if people lived by Jesus's teachings we'd be in much better shape as a whole.  Of course, that he just reworded and said the same thing that Buddha had said several hundred years before seems to be lost on many Christians.  As the saying goes, Buddha wasn't a Christian but Jesus would have made a good Buddhist.
