Your education is severely deficient. That of the founders of this country was not. The majority of them were Judeo-Christians, overtly or tacitly by beliefs, and all by behavior. "Show me the tribute money," He said. And they brought to Him a penny. [20] And he said unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? [21] They say unto him, Caesar's. Then said He to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." Matthew 22:19-21 Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. The Constitution of the United States of America ------------------------------------------------------------ THE PREAMBLE We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general, Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constituion for the United States of America. IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. You said: cite examples from JudeoChristian text that speaks of freedom of speech, equal rights, the right to assemble and the value of democracy.

This country evolved as a Christian nation not as a PC nation or a social nation. Can you show me a nation that comes close to this ? I can point to the communist nations that have no religion and they are vile and evil places to live. The so-called progressive people would lead us to these philosophies that have no proof or success. At one point our education system was the envy of the world. The ultra left took it over and it is now in shambles following the "PROGRESSIVE" views. Meanwhile Christian schools do far more with far less. If you tell me they have better children than you must be saying that conservative children are better than liberal children. I am not a Christian but their values produced the greatest nation in the history of the world. Name one that is better.
