Just a few more sources I lifted from the NYC atheist web page at http://nyc-atheist.org/
If you have trouble with the link articles go to the web site. By the way, can you spot the misspelled word in the second line? THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION FIRST AMENDENT TO THE CONSTITUTION Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The Declaration of Independence The United States Constitution Amendments to the Constitution JOHN ADAMS’ A DEFENCE OF THE CONSTITUTIONS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [1787-1788]. James Madison's Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments . [1785] The Thomas Jefferson Papers - (American Memory from the Library of Congress) Federalist Papers The Treaty of Tripoli Art. 11. 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 tranquility, 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. stemcell On Oct 16, 3:46 pm, Clogtowner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi y'all - Brilliant!
