“The United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion.”
– John Adams –
From the Treaty of Tripoli, 1797

On another occasion, he said:

“Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other religions, may establish with the same ease, any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other sects?”
– John Adams –

In other words, once you let the mad dogs loose, ya never know who’s next –

And last, but not least:

“In the formation of the American government,…it will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of heaven.”
– John Adams –

Of course despite President Adams’ erstwhile words, we still have our friendly, resident lunatics, who maintain:

“I trust God speaks through me.”
– George W. Bush –

“Who says I am not under the special protection of God?”
– Adolph Hitler –
