Yup, but that misses the point by a mile. Its freedom OF, not freedom FROM religion. You've been shaped by some Christian values even if you think of yourself as an atheist.
Practicing Christian or not doesn't change the fact that you have been influenced and shaped as a person by Christian ideals that don't exist in other places of the world dominated by other religions. An atheist from India, one from America, and one from Africa are all going to be very, very different people, even though all are free of religion. The way they treat women, for example, will be fundamentally different, due to the religious values that surrounded them and how it shaped them. They were raised to put different values on charity, compassion, and even life itself.
You're seriously fucking dense if you thought I meant *from* religion. It was founded on religious freedom, the freedom to practice their own. But like I said, that includes the freedom to not practice one. But even with the freedom to practice a religion, it isn't exclusive to Christianity, obviously.
And obviously people's lives are in some way or form influenced/shaped by Christianity, but you can say the same or any religion that is practiced/talked about in this country. Especially because Christianity is shoved down people's throats here.
The people who believe this country *should* be based around Christian laws are fucking stupid, that's more or less dictatorship.
People that complain about how the bible/Christianity isn't taught in school...Okay fine, have a class based on Christianity, BUT, you have to teach other religions as well. And NO, you can't just acknowledge one and ignore the rest. Otherwise, get the fuck over it. There are schools specifically based around your religion, if you really want to study it then go to one of them. Although personally, I think if someone really believes something strongly enough, they're better off staying at home and researching it themselves, rather than go to a church or school just to listen to a likely hypocrite talk for an hour.
And as far as modern times are, compassion, decency and such are hardly Christian values anymore, especially because I find it harder to believe most "Christians" than I do in a "God".
And no, I'm not an atheist, but that doesn't really matter.
I agree with your original post tho. To think of out country as secular is laughable... We are riddled with Christianity.. We are finally moving away from it and that's why they are getting so scared
Any time someone tells me it was founded on Christian principles I just ask them to prove it for me.
They never can.

When it really comes down to it Jesus only said a few things be kind to your neighbor /parents /elders be kind to the sick and poor whoever is righteous and follows The Lord goes to heaven be weary of false prophets dont worry much about the Old Testament stories
he really didn't say much more tbh nothing about sex "rights" ie speech, trials etc drugs Marriage homosexuality
he did speak out against weapons tho. Guns weren't invented yet obviously but his stance would be very anti gun
yet all these Christian retards can't seem to grasp their heads around these concepts and actual progressive people of the US just have to sit around and watch our country go further and further back in the pack due to this dumb fuck religion that people are basically making up as they go
if we took Jesus' words literally then out country would be super liberal.. But the Christians are all super republican, the retardednedd is almost un matched . .. And then enters Donald trump rip America
