"Not, In Any Sense"

We all forget that the claim by the Religious Right that the US is a Christian Country is not only philosophically questionable but is, in fact, and by law inaccurrate.

Let us re-visit the Treaty Of Tripoli, signed in 1797 (after unanimous Senate Approval):

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
