There is no reference to the Christian God (Jehovah) in either the
Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. As for your belief
that this nation was founded on the Christian faith, well, some of
our founding fathers disagreed with you. The question I have, is 
whose opinion do I respect more: your's or John Adam's? A rhetorical
question, of course, since I have seen no reason to respect your
opinion.

--
As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense 
founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of

enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as
the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility 
against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no 
pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an 
interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Treaty of Tripoli, 1797, Article XI
