No one said it was based on Christian religion. It is however based on Christian moral philosphy.

Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11: Written during the Administration of George Washington and signed into law by John Adams.
“The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”

Yea, based upon christianity… Right.

“Tiny cross people!” I love that one.
Tiny cross people, that is, who have tiny hearts, as well — pea-sized hearts and huge bank accounts.

Jay,

What are you talking about? Please back up your statement: “I see that the majority were Muslims, or street preachers bugging people.”

There are 16 legal cases pointed out there where the ACLU protected religious expression. Here is a breakdown by topic:

Street Preachers (who you don’t like): 3

Muslims: 2

Christians excluding street preachers: 11

My favorite part is the left-wing screed posted at the bottom of the blog entry to fire up people against the ACLU. As if there is no right-wing screed out there…

I can’t believe the ACLU actually defends religion. They even defended the religious freedoms of Jerry Falwell!

Why does the ACLU hate America!?

Reading that Huffington Post entry really made my blood boil. These elitists think that they’re so much better than we are. They feel that they’ve found the “Kabbala” Buddhist post modern epipheny, and all the rest of us are bumbling idiots who ride around all day in our tractors eating grass. They think anybody who still believes in religion must be some uneducated brain washed fool. I’m Jewish. I may not believe in Jesus, but I believe in morality, and I believe in the excellent Judeo-Chrsitian ideals that this country was founded upon. They separate us from the dictatorial animals that seek to take over the world. They worship men like Stalin. A communist who killed over 60 million people and doomed many more millions to live the rest of their lives in Siberian winters. I am an educated religious woman. I do not follow G-d because I “can’t think for myself”. I believe that religion is logical and rational. There are many more educated people that think the way I do. Would they dare to call Albert Einstein a stupid uneducated man? This same man who said, “The more I learn about science, the more I believe in G-d”.
The day religion is taken out of all aspects of our public life, as the ACLU wants, is the day this proud country will turn into dust. But, that’s just my eneducated, country bumpkin opinion. Oh yeah, and I do come from a “fly over” state.

Well that is very nice, thank you for sharing that list. I see that the majority were Muslims, or street preachers bugging people. A few legit cases in there too. The point is that they seek to censor religion, Christianity especially, more often.

You do realize that the ACLU does defend religion as well?

How about an autographed, Christmas-giftwrapped copy of ACLU vs America, complete with a Christmas card attached saying “Jesus loves you!”?
