A couple things here. To Tron first...
The founding fathers were not Chritians, they were Deists. Had they been Christians, I do not believe that this nation would be what it is today. A nation based on religious ideals is no better than Saudi Arabia or Iran. It simply does NOT work. (And on a side note, the gay marriage ban is about as religious an undertaking as there is.)
Secondly, to the Christians out there. Realize this. Jesus was an incredible revolutionary political and religious teacher, but he was purely a man. His deity was decided upon and introduced into Christianity some 200 years after his death. Up to that time only a small fraction of his followers thought of him as god or "son of god." The "scriptures" were then twisted to the church's own benefit. In essence you are all catholics. It's very interesting to read the history of all this, I'd start with Elaine Pagels. Realizing these things, and understanding these huge gaping holes in Christianity led me down a path of science, and having my knowledge based on emperical fact, not loony "divine" revelation. It feels deliciously liberating to not have a religion anymore.
