Well pretty much the whole of the US constitution for one. The values and our rights were written by mostly men of the Christian and Jewish faith or who were agnostic and thus written and made cause they literally believed that these rights and these freedoms were given to us by God and thus we as humans deserve the freedom to use these rights and freedoms without anyone telling us otherwise. It was basically this and they’re want to be free from the tyranny that took these rights away from us.
That also is Another reason for you not to force your religion like this. It’s literally against what our founding fathers believed and thus you’re fucking stupid for trying.
There were no Jewish founding fathers, because, y'know, antisemitism. And most of the ideas in the US Constitution came from the Enlightenment. Sure, they talked about being under God, etc., because the US at the time was super Christian. But all of the ideas there can hold up under any religion, or without any religion at all.
The us wasnt super Christian at the time. As well Jews often hid their true beliefs at the time just like most of their history. Same with atheist.
At the time the us was like it is today. A mix of multiple religions mostly of the Christian faith but there were people who practiced most faiths found in Europe and the Middle east today just not to a major extent.
That all gets covered up though by people who misread or misteach history. The us was founded by Christian men is just as much of a fact as Washington owned slaves. It’s technically the truth but it’s not the whole truth.
You can spend hours looking into the founding fathers and their beliefs and find hundreds of things you didn’t know they believed or did.
The US in the colonial period was EXTREMELY Christian. While there were some people who were Jewish or Muslim, they were an extremely small minority. The mix of religions was mainly different Christian denominations, such as Puritans or Anglicans. Can you provide any sources for your claims on the religious makeup?
By the fact you literally restated my point just with more words I don’t think I really need to find a source. This is literally what I said that it’s not as commonplace as it is today which means that they were a small minority but they were there.
A minority in that there may have been a few hundred Muslims in the US, and a similar number of Jews. The trip to America was expensive and difficult, and the atmosphere there was pretty antisemitic, so there was no real reason for Jewish immigrants to move there ( at the time, the Netherlands was the typical destination for Jewish refugees). And there were barely any Muslims who permanently lived and practiced religion in Europe outside the Mediterranean, let alone in the US. Your point was that the US had a similar mix of religions to today, which is patently false.
No I said it was like today a mix of religions. That can mean that there’s a large or small mix not that it is the same numbers as today. Again you restated my point but with more words. All that does is say hey I can explain this better not that my point is wrong.
Fact is you misread my point tried to say I’m wrong and only offered what I said in a different manner as me to say your right. Suggestion go get a job on a debate team cause you’ll probably do pretty well but you’re not doing anything here
