The US was built on 'common sense values'. Be kind, be generous, work hard, take care of your family etc. The notion of Judeo-Christian ethics stems from the work of George Orwell in the late 30s. He's not American, and that was about 160yrs after the independence.
It still took 10 years or so to finalize a common ground between both sets of moral values, which anyway, are far from being shared only by Jews and Christians.
You must have skipped reading the Declaration of Independence and Constitution unless the Creator and Lord references are scrivener error
Those vague references refer to which god?
You must have skipped reading the treaty of tripoli too..
The God of Abraham. Don't be intentionally obtuse.
Speaking of being intentionally obtuse... how does this fit with your position?
John adams, you may have heard of him...founding father, first vice president, second president, signed a document that said this..
"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
But what the hell would he know?!? Obviously you know better ;)
