I didn't imply about things you said or not, I replied to those you wrote.

You said that "it was a McCarthy era nonsense". And I provided the reasons why this does not, by any means, stand.

I meant the communists are a minority-and not without a reason. Atheists are a very heterogeneous group.

Fortunately or unfortunately, United States (and almost all free nations) have Democracy. According to Democracy, what the majority votes for goes. Of course the majority is not always right and the minority must also be respected and heard. Democracy itself (true Democracy) "states" that.

Slavery, denying women the right to vote, etc were forced upon by some, not approved by all free people. About "In God We Trust" inscripted on US currency, Americans freely gave their opinion-which was that they agree and want it to be written on.

"In God We Trust" written on coins and bills doesn't force anyone to believe. Neither one who doesn't believe is deemed as an outlaw and arrrested or has inflicted penalties by the law upon him/her.

Being involved in matters of the State, to any degree (politician, senator, minister, secretary, President etc) doesn't force one to either be neutral just about everything or have a certain opinion and never change it.

Some were deists yes, but most Fathers were inspired by and believed in Jesus Christ as God-if you search it a bit you can find it. And I don't think that such men said and wrote words like that just to appeal to the crowd and exploit their acclaim and esteem for power and such. The Declaration of Independence may not be a "legal" (by the narrow meaning) document but it is highly important for all Americans, even "sacred", all (even non-Americans) know that. And Jews don't believe as Christians. According to Jews, the Messiah never came- they're still expecting Him.

I don't know every letter of the US Constitution and law. What I do know is, when you are called as witness in a US court (and courts of other countries as well) to testify, you place your hand on the Bible and promise to tell "the truth and nothing but the truth." I don't believe that this is irrelevant.

If it is your opinion that the Congress was wrong doing that and it is a defilement to God, then ok, you're free to express and defend it (personally, I haven't heard neither of the two before, especially the second one). But I have to disagree.
