When will Conservatives decide to stand up and ask if Atheist's should be allowed to serve as judges over a nation created by Christian's?

the fundamental principle that founded the USA.
PS True Xians (TM) would never have rebelled against the king that god had set over them
Correction:A nation created by a members of a variety of faiths-some Christians, Some Atheists, but mostly Diests. And also Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11, bitch.
Still hoping your fantasy will come true, I see. Sorry kid, history's been written, and there's nothing you can do to change the fact that the US was founded by men with varying beliefs.
Now, there were Christians who were in on the founding of the U.S. -- along with deists, agnostics, and probably a few sub rosa atheists. But what did they have in common? Politically, they were secularists. The exceptions to that secularism tried to insert language which would have made the U.S. an explicitly Christian country (much the way it was initially an explicitly white-supremacist, patriarchal, plutocratic country), but they were voted down -- by their fellow Christians as well as by the deists, agnostics, apatheists, etc.
You were never a Christian country, There isn't one mandate on this. In fact, your Constitution says this isn't a requirement for office, even the highest office.
When they finally get rid of The Constitution and its troublesome article VI, which states that there will be no religious test to hold public office.
Rest assured though poster, your idols and your fellow zombies are working diligently towards that goal.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
