1. All children in US public schools are forced to learn about Christmas and, therefore, Jesus the virgin birth etc. etc. In fact, everyone in the US of A pretty much has to get involved in the Christmas thingy whether anyone wants to or not. It's on every bit of media, government offices close, stores close the entire country shuts down for a RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY. One religion is so pervasive that you can't even see it. 2. Revisionist. Try understanding our Founding Fathers and the US Constitution. Remember what THE SETTLERS WERE FLEEING??????? That would be RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. "As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries." Treaty of Peace and Friendship, signed at Tripoli November 4, 1796...Ratified by the United States June 10, 1797
