Yep, we sure hate you goyim, and in the spirit of the season we just sacrificed the last Christian child to incorporate their blood into our 2024 Pesach matzo. Until next year!

Somewhere very close to where I am sitting at this very moment, I mean surely no more than a quarter of a mile, in 1654, a boat containing 23 Jews fleeing the Inquisition in Brazil pulled up to this island, and they asked to stay.

Eventually they got the OK, and the congregation they founded, Shearith Israel, still exists in this first Capital of the United States.

Rumor has it that the Dutch Reformed Church colonists traded their babies for bagels.

Ok, I made that up that last part.

Clearly! Bagels are très Ashkenazi.

Or is it referring to teachings that god is everywhere and in everything?
People who know God Is, do not have these questions.

Yes i do. Nobody needs to leave the country because as a secular democracy all have the right to express and celebrate their religion. But definitely it is slanted to Christianity. The President attends as his first job the Christian church Breakfast.

A nation is formed by the people, not the leaders or official documents.

I believe that the Founders saw the USA as a firmly theistic nation, but quite vague about the details and implications of that.
