We don't have an official religion, and that's the way we like it.

But we were founded by Christians. Our Christian forefathers set up the system that gives everyone religious freedom. That does not mean everyone has to accept every belief out there. Christians tolerate other religions and expect them to do the same.

Obama should get over it.

The Youtube video had this comment, which I like except for the last sentence because too many people interpret Separation of Church and State to mean religion has no part in the conduct of our government. That is an impossibility:

It is true that the country was founded by a group of Christian men, but they were Christians who had seen a great amount of persecution in England because of different religious belief systems. I would think the constitution meant for America to be a land free from one official religion, a place where people could have different opinions. That is why separation of church and state, though not explicitly mentioned in the constitution, is one of the core principles of our system of government.
