- Walter, describe these values and cite quotations from the
- founding fathers indicating that this country was founded on
- anything even remotely Christian. I've seen one quote go
- past already that explictly states that the country was _not_
- founded on those Christian values (was it John Adams? I think so.).
- Collect your evidence, then come back and prove your statement.
