The author asked the wrong question, and from his idealology, one can reach the conclusion that Christianity has no place in American discourse. The real question to ask is, Was the United States founded on Christian morals and precepts? The answer is absolutely, yes. The natural rights are the rights given to man, as a result of his mere existence, by his Creator. Of course the Founding Fathers refused to sanction any state sponsored religion, as they understood that such would ultimately lead to tyranny of one form or another, regardless of how soft it could be. As a Christian, I can say that the laws handed down from God were for the benefit of society, and not the arbitrary whims of some capricious supreme being. As the Creator of society, He knew how best to organize it so that it flowed as smoothly and peaceably as possible. As we are witness to today, divergence from these morals and precepts can have a catastrophic affect on society.
