Conspiracy of Religion Separation of Church and State – The Metaphor and the Constitution? Myth vs.Reality

3.) “As a nation, we have celebrated Christmas to commemorate the Savior’s birth for centuries.”

The celebration of Christmas is in no way, shape, or form at all whatsoever related to Jesus, who, according to the New Testament, was born in March or April.
Our nation has had a Christian majority since its inception, that does not however infer anything on how our founding fathers intended the country to be ran, in all probability they, like many today, just liked a good party with lots of food and gift giving.

“What we know as “Christmas” is actually the Ancient Roman Festival of Saturnalia, a celebration of their Pagan god “Sol Invictus” ["Unconquered Sun"]. Who, according to the Myth of the ancient Persian God Mithras (the Greek Sun God Helios), was born on December 25 to a Virgin mother, now known as the Constellation of Virgo (also called the “bread house”, which translates into Hebrew as “Bethlehem”)”

5.) “The founding fathers often quoted the Bible in their writings.”

The bible is the very first record we have of a comprehensive law therefore a must read for anyone making a system of law, that does not mean they wanted the laws to be the same, otherwise we would have stoned a lot of people. Including Benjamin Franklin. He did after all see a woman naked that was not his wife.

“The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason.”
-Benjamin Franklin

“In the affairs of the world, men are saved, not by faith, but by the lack of it.”
-Benjamin Franklin

“Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.”
-Benjamin Franklin

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the Common Law.”
-Thomas Jefferson

“We discover in the gospels a groundwork of vulgar ignorance, of things impossible, of superstition, fanaticism and fabrication.”
-Thomas Jefferson

“I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition (orthodox Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.”
-Thomas Jefferson

9.) “Our national anthem mentions God.”
No, it does not:
“O! Say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! Say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

I can’t find the word “god” anywhere in there, can you?]
Who said a country’s government is defined by its anthem? Also our national anthem was written in 1812 36 years after revolution, when a good number of our founding fathers were already dead, or moved out of the country.

The “Star-Spangled Banner”, written during a battle in the War of 1812, is, however, the only National Anthem in the English-Speaking Western world to ever mention the word “bombs”.

13.) “Our nations birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, mentions God four times.”
FACT: In all of the founding documents of the United States, the word “god” appears exactly precisely ONCE; and it is DIRECTLY PRECEDED by the word “NATURE”; and I quote:
“…And to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them…”
—Declaration of Independence of the United States of America by Third President of the United States Thomas Jefferson
Written by my favorite Mr. Jefferson, see above quotes to get a feel for his religious fervor.
