You didn't link or post information that states or proves anywhere that "America was originally Christian" or any counterargument to any of the points that I made. Actually, what you did do was prove my point more- that America was founded on religious freedom and in fact NOT founded on any ONE religion.
Saying that Episcopalian was what the majority of people followed, and linking the wiki page on the Episcopal Church, does not prove that this country was founded on Christianity. It just says that a lot of people followed that certain religion. Like you even said, a lot of people also followed other religions. Which means that you proved my point and that, again, America was founded on the belief of the acceptance of *multiple* religions, not just one.
And what about the fact that our founding fathers themselves said -wrote, recorded- and then signed a document stating that "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion?" It's kind of hard to argue that this country was founded on Christianity when the people that founded it specifically stated that it wasn't. That's like the equivalent of your teacher giving you a printout of your next homework assignment and it's due date of Jan 29th. When you fail to hand in your homework on that specific date, you can argue with your teacher all you want that the due date says February 29th.... but when it comes down to it, the proof is right there in front of you, in writing.
