y. Are you suggesting that Protestantism and Christianity be classified as two different religions? No, not really. Actually I was born and baptized a Lutheran later to become a Catholic. About the only difference I see between the two today is that the Catholics put a higher importance on Mary and Joseph plus confession whereas the Lutherans dont. It was explained to me once as a young man by a priest who said to me, "If you wanted to ask the BIG BOSS for a favor, wouldnt you feel better having one or both of his Lieutenants on your side?". Made a lot of sense to ME. haha. The only thing I am saying about the founders of USA is that they didnt want the STATE to saddle any citizen with any religion. I seriously doubt they gave much consideration to Islam or Buddiasm or any of the other major religions which at the time had little or no influence in the New World. On the other hand, it is VERY CLEAR that much of our law and our beliefs are based upon JUDEOCHRISTIAN values. Why not admit it and move forward? jdn
