As a matter of fact, 24 out of the

To say that America was
founded by a bunch of pagans is

First Amendment states, "Congress

an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise
thereof," is because my God is a
God of Love.
The Christian faith doesn't
teach forcing religion down people's

there are Christians who
make that error. Our founding fathers
did not make that mistake.
They knew their Bible.
So America, how are you going
to celebrate your Christmas?
