Michael, can you explain why, when America made a treaty with Tripoli in 1797, there was the following declaration, written under Washington's presidency, and approved by the Senate under John Adams?

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."

Why would our Founding Fathers have written this statement if indeed there was no Constitutional intent to separate church and state?
