Religion in America

Religion, or at least a firm belief in the existence of a creator is in America. It is woven into every ideal that was used to create our great union. The Jews were Gods chosen people but the American people chose God.

Our founding fathers were not all Christians, some were Jewish and some claimed no specific religion but they shared a common vision. They created for us a nation that allowed freedom of religion among many freedoms. The single guiding principle was that power comes not from government but from the people. Government was a necessary evil which was to have only the powers the governed would allow.

We should really try to get back to the founding principles and get government out of our daily lives.
