1)"i'm american and a christian"
i always hear this from americans trying to make a political stance.....does it earn you a cookie?
wow, he is like......a majority
2)"our kids can't openly celebrate christmas"
we have had this argument in the uk for a long time under the claim "it's offensive to muslims" and it is a claim repeated every Christmas, Easter, bank holiday and any number of their religious holidays
it's a flawed, unproven fallicy
3)"our religious heritage"
note to the patriotic: Treaty of Tripoli states "As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws"
(and i am sure one of the founding father of the us stated likewise)
