Make me feel sorta sick reading all those nasty comments.
Also make me angry. Religion is only mentioned a few times in the Constitution and one of them was to make sure that our government remained a secular government.
Most of our Founding Fathers were not the most religious of people. For sure they were spiritual and believed in a God but they didn't found America based on church doctrines and beliefs. They found it on the belief that "EVERYONE WAS CREATED EQUAL" and deserved the same rights as everyone else. Yes Originally it was only men but overtime it changed to include everyone.
Also for most Christians in America our protestants, which have their roots in Martin Luther and Lutheranism. Martin Luther wrote that Marriage was a civil rite not a religious rite, like the Catholic Church.
