Patheos is presenting a correct view:
Secularists, Please Stop Quoting The Treaty Of Tripoli
I’m writing today to beseech my fellow secularists with a simple request: please, for the love of god (in the colloquial sense), stop quoting the Treaty of Tripoli.www.patheos.com
Do you think there were no Islamic people in the 13 colonies? Do you think Muslims didn't serve under Washington during the revolution? Washington, later America’s first president, didn’t have a problem with Muslims serving in his army. By giving these Muslims the honour of serving America, Washington made it clear that a person did not have to be of a certain religion or have a particular ethnic background to be an American patriot.
Freedom OF Religion means that you can worship whoever you want to worship as God / gods or even yourself.
which has nothing to do with my post or the post I was responding to
The First Amendment has two provisions concerning religion: the establishment clause and the free exercise clause.. You keep posting about the free exercise clause while ignoring the establishment clause. The establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion.
John Jay was a proponent of centralized government and not surprising a governor of the now People's Republic of New York.Maybe the historical context is this:
John Jay > Quotes > Quotable Quote
(?)
“Providence has given to our people the choice of their ruler, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers. John Jay First Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court.”
― John Jay, Cliffs Notes on The Federalist
Interesting that the original framers of the Constitution called it a Christian nation
Do you believe that it means nothing
Clearly, you appear to believe that your answers and statements are always correct. When you say God gave us inalienable rights, it is certainly logical to inquire which God? The US does not have a state theology classifying a particular God. This is NOT a Christian nation!! An official Muslim country, such as Saudi Arabia, does have such a basis. And, they would dispute an approach that "Allah" gave inalienable rights to Americans. My question, therefore, remains: To which "God" do you refer? The Hebrew God, the Christian God, the Hindu God, or another?
What is the geographical location of the People's Republic? Clearly it is not within the United States. So where? Or are your political views framing a comment.
That IS pushing religion, much like a law that forces schools and teachers to display and discuss the Eightfold Path or the Five Pillars of Faith would be teaching religion. Where do you think the Decalogue comes from? The Oklahoma law takes it even to another level.
