The problem I see with the american public is a grotesque lack of civic thinking, an intelligence that is respectful of the decisions and achievements of our ancestors while being educated and mindful of the views and beliefs our country was founded on, namely those of Judeo-Christianity. Even if you are not a christian yourself, you must surely recognize that America was founded as a christian nation, is a christian nation, and is not compatible with the worldviews of other nations that are founded on beliefs such as Islam, etc. Although we ought to strive to be as peaceful as possible when the ends meet properly.
Nations have religious identities. Most of America's founding fathers were not christian, but they were able to recognize this. Surely you can too.
As lostclimate already said, this is not true. The founding fathers were secularists. They founded the USA as a SECULAR country where religion should play no role in poltics.
You want evidence? Just take a look at your constitution (which you already should have done, as an American):
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States_of_AmericaNow search for words like "god", "christian", "religion", "religious", etc. Only the term "religious" will return ONE match:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
"but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
Would the founding fathers have written this without mentioning it anywhere else if they wanted to found a christian nation? Of course they wouldn't have. But they did, because they were secularists.
Nations don't need religious identities.
The "In god we trust" and other references to god were added much later. The founding fathers would spin in their graves.
