CJ, one by one:

a) What about the Tripoli Treaty? It's just stating that America isn't a Christian nation. Basic 1st amendment affirmation; no establishment of a state religion.

b) So what if Congress met on Christmas Day? Some Christians I know of work on Christmas as well.

c) What does Unitarianism have to do with this? Seems like if anything, Unitarians try and reconcile the gap between secular and religious, not drive a huge wedge between the two.

There is nothing in American history that suggests the Founding Fathers wanted to create "religious-free" zones. All they wanted to do is not allow the government to force anyone to believe in a religion or act based solely on a religious doctrine.
