Can't we just agree that it's a Christian Nation for some and a secular Nation for others and move along? Now maybe someone can help me out. I remember reading something attributed to one of the founders a long time ago, can't remember who. He was going on about religious tolerance and how you were free to worship whichever diety you choose or none at all as long as it didn't offend the "good senses of the people" and the person in question wasn't offended by the religion of the people. He suggested if the person with the minority religion was offended by the majority religion, then that person, who has the freedom to worship and still objects to the religion of the majority... also has the freedom to go somewhere they feel less religiously oppressed. I though it may have been Samuel Adams, inspired by John Locke... because of this: "All men have a right to remain in a state of nature as long as they please; and in case of intolerable oppression, civil or religious, to leave the society they belong to, and enter into another." - The Rights of the Colonists, November 20, 1772 I'm not trying to make a case for or against. The reason I ask is because I believe it may be the origin of "Love it or Leave It!" I might have been dreaming.
