Wrong. It's a government based on Christian principles, by design. It's what sets us apart from the heathens of the East and the barbarians of the Middle East.
You believe in an adaptable god.
Link? Many of the signers were, indeed, Christians, but they fled Monarchies and State Religions. There's a reason why the Founders wanted a separation of Church and State.
OTOH, you're free to believe Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin: Base law on the Bible
Peeved by a recent ruling that a National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional, Sarah Palin is urging America to base its laws on the Ten Commandments, telling Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that we should "go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant. They're quite clear that we would create law based on the God of the Bible...." While Palin supporters remained mostly silent, secular critics quickly shot back. "More people in the United States are Christians," says Joe Gandelman in The Moderate Voice, "but the United States is not a Christian nation. And the founding fathers most assuredly did not define it as such." Not only "should we not base our laws on the Ten Commandments," adds Ed Brayton in Science Blogs, but "8 out of 10 are indisputably unconstitutional." Besides, the Declaration of Independence's "principle author," Thomas Jefferson, once described the Judeo-Christian God as "cruel, capricious, vindictive and unjust."
They fled English Christian Tyranny, not the gospel of Jesus Christ itself. I'm willing to bet most of these men were educated enough to appreciate the value of the gospels and how important it was to infuse the Constitution with it.Link?

Please cite where Christianity is infused to the Constitution.
Look at the first paragraph. it has Christian values all over it.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
if you disagree, then show me where this kind of wording stems from. Well, clearly you disagree, so show me where this kind of wording stems from.
Do you think Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin were Evangelistas? Even John Adams?
I believe in God. What I don't believe is you incorporating your religious views into the Constitution.
BTW, do you eat pork? Shellfish? Ever coveted another man's wife? Do you believe those laws should be incorporated into the Constitution too?
Tibetan Buddhism is by far the smallest and least representative branch of Buddhism, compared to Mahayana and Therevada Buddhism.
The way you describe it, it sounds pretty self centered and inward directed. We can say at least the Abrahamic faiths purport to improve the world around them by alleviating poverty, practicing charity and altruism, and universal love.
I always liked the concept of the eightfold path though
I don't know. Your turn.
No surprise.
That wording was inspired by the Bible and good Christian values; something of which you know nothing.
That's why you hate this country. You pine for change you can believe in, just like that Islamic asshole, Barack Obama.
It's amazing you've chosen to descend from your Holy pedestal to even post to me. Awesome!
Are you armed and ready to take to the streets to
Why would I want to murder you? That shit's illegal and it's for subhumans like mass shooters and Antifa rioters and BLM rioters.
