"In God we trust." "One nation under God" "So help me God" These are all phrases that were foundations in our countries policies and procedures. Our country was founded under Christianity. If you disagree then you are simply ignorant.

Wrong. The majority of the founding fathers were deists and despised the bible and christianity.

America was founded by people whose cultural background was Christianity and Enlightenment. Enlightenment is a cultural movement which is rooted in (yes, you guessed right) Christianity, and Greek-Roman culture. Those are the pillars of America. Not Marxism, not Islam. These are later influences, and for the most part, bad influences. It makes sense to insist on America's European roots, unless you want it to become an extension of kidnapping happy Mexico.

"I'm an atheist and can truly say I'm more moral than most Christians/muslims,"Nobody can say that about himself. It's for people to judge how moral you are. Everybody feels he is more moral than everybody else.

Well, it's probably because we don't outlaw lying or adultery (things that go against some of the fundamental core values of Judaism/Christianity).

I agree with LV more times then not but why does every video have to begin with the word "so"?

How could anyone deny that the United States was not forged by Judeo Christian ideals. The framers were influenced by their religion and philosophers such as John Lock and I believe Thomas Payne. It is true that America cannot be exclusively one religion, but is CERTAINLY a result of Judeo christian principles.

this is true. some of the founders were deists. to wit: "In the United States, Enlightenment philosophy (which itself was heavily inspired by deist ideals) played a major role in creating the principle of separation of church and state, expressed in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Founding Fathers who were especially noted for being influenced by such philosophy include Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Cornelius Harnett, Gouverneur Morris, and Hugh Williamson."

It doesn't really matter. The Constitution explicitly says the country is not a Christian nation.You can say the majority of Americans are Christian, but you cannot say that this countries values are taken directly from the Bible. That's most definitely false.
