| The writers of the Declaration |
America was founded on a basic Biblical principal that the Americans of today have strayed from. The Founding Fathers incorporated the Bible into the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Almost everyone in those days believed there was a God, even though some chose not to submit themselves to him. Up until the Civil War it remained that way. Then people started going downhill. After 1900 the Bible was not quite a foreign language, but close to it. Now, everyone thinks of the Bible as the "geek's"book. Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists get more respect then us. Why? It's not like Islam is peace loving (ha ha). Everyone is afraid of them, therefore they get respect.

We have strayed away from God a lot since our founding. Why do people seem so hostile towards Christianity while welcoming other religions? It's a hard question. But we have to remember what Jesus said...
"People will insult you and hurt you. They will lie and say all kinds of evil things about you because you follow me. But when they do, you will be blessed." Matthew 5:11
and
"If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first." John 15:18
But that doesn't mean we can't work to turn America back to God! I don't think He's done with us yet. I still believe He has great plans for our country.
Just one more thought; maybe people do respect Islam because they are afraid of them. But do you think that maybe people are afraid of Christianity - of facing the fact that there IS a real, personal God, and so they try to turn away from Him and His followers?
