This video is a great resource as he details his own sources that show the in 1776 only 17% of the population was religious. It also shows how the religious people keep pushing for something that never was due to being taught that lie as a child. Hell they say my pastor / preacher told me it was a Christian nation, my parents did, my friends knew it was … so it must be. But no it is a created fiction on the scale of Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Lord of the Ring trilogy. Great short video to watch. Hugs

Hi Bruce. Yes very true, but the die hard fundamentalist refuse to accept anything but the superiority of their god to rule over the entire country, every person, and then the world. In their minds that is what it will take to have their god come back and make them super kings ruling in their lord’s name in complete everlasting joy. A thing they seem to be unable to reach here on earth now. Hugs
