 America was *NOT* founded by Christians.  I'm very tired of hearing that
 drumbeat.  The founding fathers, if anything, were DEISTs, and/or
 ceremonialisyts, and well knew the inherent dangers of including or even
 nodding to support any one religion over another in this country and its
 government - something our modern-day right-wing Christian brothers and
 sisters either don't know or won't learn.

 A state religion here would indeed be as dangerous to US national growth
 and development as is has proven all over the middle east. Remember: prior
 to 1979, Iran didn't have either a "state religion," or a theocracy.  Now
 it does.  Was there an improvement?
