An Open Letter to Bob Jones, James Dobson, et. al.

No matter how much you and you want to replace the Constitution with the Bible, the United States of America is not a Christian nation. This may come as a shock, and is obviously inconvenient for you, but it was decided centuries ago.

The Barbary Treaties 1786-1816 - Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Signed at Tripoli November 4, 1796

ARTICLE 11.

As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion…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.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation, and await the cessation of your assault on the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

Sincerely,
