What you've shown is that this country was not founded as a theocracy. That is correct. However, to eliminate "God" by placing reference to Him under the blanket of deism is dishonest. At the time, there was no real distinction between "god" and "God," especially among white European males. Equally, remember that these wise men worked every day to include everyone to get out founding documents ratified. Equally, telling a bunch of Muslim stone-age lunkheads that "we're not a Christian nation" to get them to stop raiding our ships is another example of saying what needs to be said to achieve a certain goal. Let's be real here. I'm sure your leftist professors would be slapping your back right now in attempting to undermine this nation's traditional values but hey, what else is new?
