Preserve American Secularism “..the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion…” Treaty of Tripoli, 1797 It was disturbing, but not surprising, to learn that the Christian Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a speech to the conservative “think tank” Heritage Foundation essentially trying to insert Christianity and its values as “a truth,” fundamentally part of our nation.
