There's plenty of good quotes from founding fathers regarding religion which be thought of whenever someone tries to claim that America is a country based on Christianity and its laws should reflect that:
“The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”
-1797 Treaty of Tripoli signed by Founding Father John Adams
“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”
- Thomas Jefferson
Also, the Mississippi Declaration of Secession has some gems to think about whenever someone claims that the Civil war was not fought over slavery:
Quote:
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world
(its plenty longer and the whole thing is really a goldmine of racism, but that's a good highlight)
"In every country and in every age the priest has been hostile to liberty. he is always in alliance with the Despot abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."
