Reply #52: I like this graphic. (I will also give a link to a recent thread on this)

[Nothing Without Hope]

There was another thread recently with exactly this question of wanting references to back up the fact that the country was founded with the intention to firmly separate church and state. There were a number of suggestions in the replies. Here's the thread:

thread title (12/12): Need help: Debating a FReeper who says this country was founded on God

EDITED TO ADD: The original image is hosted at AllHatNoCattle.net, which has recently been having some site problems. It may come up later as these are resolved. But in case it doesn't, I'll describe the image. It's got a picture of Jerry Falwell on the left, with the quote "I will never apologize for fearlessly defending the Judeo-Christian values on which this country was founded." On the right is an image of George Washington, with a quote from HIM: "The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian religion." Across the bottom of the graphic is the question, "Which of these two people is a liar?"
