I always hear the fundies saying that the forefathers founded this nation on religion/christianity. However, and I know high school was a long time ago, but I thought the whole reason for the founding of the United States is that the founding fathers were trying to get away from religious persecution. Meaning that only one religion was allowed and they felt the need to worship freely. I also recall they felt pretty strongly about the separation of church and state 'cause getting the church intertwined in politics was bad, bad, bad as proven by the countries our ancestors were running from.

Am I wrong???
