Gregoree does not realize the US was founded by people actively seeking to get away from people like him. Gregoree wants to set-up aristocracies of chosen ones and saved ones and different classes and subsets so they all can be measured and weighed. Gregoree does not realize it but he lives in a bureaucratic aristocracy that bequeaths special designations such as First Nations, Metis and Distinct Societies with every little class of beggar getting the wave of the government wand. Gregoree is a citizen prisoner and a chattel of the state not being sure why he believes it has something to do with democracy.

<<<"The idea the United States government is built on—that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights—is one that grew out of the Christian worldview. There is no sense in which we’re all equal if there’s no shared, intrinsically valuable human nature; and there’s no sense in which we have unalienable rights if the state grants all rights and there is no one higher than the state. What the state gives, the state can take away.">>> "Indeed, most of our influential Founding Fathers, although they respected the rights of other religionists, held to deism and Freemasonry tenets rather than to Christianity. I suppose you can weasel your way around the fact that the vast majority of the founding fathers were professing Christians by Cherry picking those whom you consider "influential" but there is no weaselling out of the fact that Creator-endowed unalienable rights are a distinctly Christian concept.
