"our godless constitution"

This is a very interesting article that addresses the common assumption that the foundation of our country was implicitly Christian: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20050221/allen The thrust of the article is that the 'founding fathers' were at least areligious and most likely anti-religious, commending Christianity only in that it sometimes improved behavior.
