In God We Trust

While our Founding Fathers recognized the importance of separation of church and state the foundation of this country was based on their Christian beliefs. Therefore this separation allows acceptance of all faiths. But God was woven into the fabric of this country’s evolution with many prominent Americans referring to Christianity.

“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible.”

“We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government… according to the Ten Commandments of God.”

~Barack Hussein Obama – In a speech during the Turkey Leg of The 2009 European Patronizing and Apologetic Tour

Will the President feel the need to repeat this statement from now on during every overseas visit only inserting the predominant religion of that particular country for the sake of appeasement?
