Wait....I though Atheist wanted everyone to tolerate them? Seems like the "tolerant" ones or intolerant of anyone else's beliefs except their own...and yes...this country was founded on God's principles!!! People moved here to escape government and have freedom of religion. Another misconception...the Separation of Church and State was a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in response to a Baptist Church getting upset that government was trying to tell them how to worship. The letter says, that no government can intervene with religious practices, not the other way around.
