And while I'm not American I'm pretty sure that some treaty signed by your founding fathers said that the United States were in no way founded on the Christian religion.

Ah! there we go !
Treaty of Tripoli:
"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, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
Guess Cheryl should study some more before saying the country is founded on christian beliefs..
