[QUOTE="Jones, post: 515453, member: 4805"] Here's what Obama actually said: Here's what John Adams said: [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+1][COLOR=Black][SIZE=-1]-- [B]Treaty of Tripoli[/B] (1797), carried unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by [B]John Adams[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=Black] What's most interesting to me is that it was approved unanimously by the senate. In other words an official document stating that the United States was not a "christian nation" was not considered controversial at the time. Much of the current fixation with declaring the US to be a christian nation is driven by the evangelical/fundamentalist wing of the conservative movement, and has it's roots in the cold war when we were locked in spiritual combat with "godless" communists.
