Not hardly. --- really? I suspect that you would construct a huge cross and menorah on the White House lawn and make israel the 51st state.
I just know and understand our history, --- what about our history do you know and understand that supports your position? The religious persecution in Europe that filled the British North American Colonies with settlers was motivated by the conviction, held by Protestants and Catholics alike, that a uniformity of religion must exist in any given society. This conviction rested on the belief that there was one true religion and that it was the duty of the civil authorities to impose it, forcibly if necessary, in their jurisdictions in the interest of saving the souls of all citizens. Nonconformists could expect no mercy and might be executed as heretics. The dominance of the concept, denounced by Roger Williams as "inforced uniformity of religion," meant that in 17th century Europe (and in New England and Virginia as well) majority religious groups who controlled political power punished dissenters in their midst. Deism which stressed morality and questioned the divinity of Christ, found advocates among Americans, conspicuous among whom were Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Ben Franklin, but supporters of these views were never more than "a minority within a minority" and were submerged by evangelicalism in the 19th century. http://www.loc.gov/loc/lcib/9805/religion.html and I am not Hell bent on revising it --- get ready ... there's a change a coming!!!
