The US Wasn't Founded as a Christian Nation

"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 tranquility, of Mussel men; 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." The Treaty of Tripoli of 1797 [emphasis added]
"Freemasonry is the Church of Lucifer masquerading as a fraternal mystical philanthropic order. It fronts for Illuminati (Masonic & Cabalist Jewish) central bankers who started the US as a vehicle to advance their New World Order." [Illuminati Created the US to Advance NWO]
After reading Henry's most recent essay which made it painfully obvious that America and its citizenry have been brainwashed to believe that American was founded upon Christian principles and champions the Christian Faith when in reality, America is the Masonic empire with enough "Christianity" to keep the masses distracted.
For
those still clinging to the fantasy, I submit for your review and
consideration
the Treaty of Tripoli of
1797. The treaty was originally signed in November
of 1797 putting George Washington in the last year of his term.
Interestingly enough, the American diplomat, Joel Barlow, previously
served as the Chaplain in the Revolutionary army.
While there, he became good friends with Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine and read Enlightenment literature. Afterwards, Barlow abandoned orthodox Christianity and embraced rationalism and advocated secular government. Barlow wrote the original English version the treaty and himself penned article 11 (see above). The Senate approved the treaty on June 7, 1797 with official ratification on June 10, 1997 with John Adams signature. Interestingly enough, the wording of the treaty didn't raise an eyebrow when published in The Philadelphia Gazette on the 17th of June, 1797. While the Treaty of Tripoli isn't any longer in force, the wording and approval of our government validates the hypothesis that America is not first and foremost a "Christian" nation.
So, if America isn't a Christian nation, what is She? In my humble opinion, she is exactly what was proffered in Henry's article, in my own words: the United States of America is little more than the "host" for the infectious disease of the New World Order...Freemasonry simply keeps the fever up.
Ask yourself, what is being used by the Masonic Orders to keep the deception alive? Easy, Constitutionalist, "Tea Party", "Truthers","Birthers" and the like. What's wrong with all these? They simply are a distraction to make everyone feel like they make a difference. Any psychology student can tell you that feeling will win out over facts any day of the week until it's too late...psychologists call this cognitive dissonance. Case in point, all the hoopla over the Constitution, Bill of Rights and all other measures for "freedom" were undone by treaties such as the Treaty of Tripoli when the treaty became the benefit of the State with no consideration given for original intent.
Lastly, as mentioned above, in spite of the "right to keep and bear arms", militia members in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan of the Hutaree militia were arrested without so much as committing a crime. They were stripped of their weapons and charged, basically, with thought crimes.
Does a government that bases its governance on a Constitution, a Bill of Rights and is founded upon Christianity behave in such a way? You would think not; however, a government that is sequentially killing off resistance to better facilitate something much bigger and horrifying certainly does.
Does a government who governs upon the "foundation" of Christian principles involve itself in wars of aggression? Killing its currency? Stealing from its own citizenry only to transfer their wealth to foreign banks? Create jobs by shipping them to China? I think not.

Vojko said (March 31, 2010):
It's true that the United States of America was not founded as a Christian nation. The United States was founded as two companies, The London Company (Charter of the Virginia Company of London) which was established by royal charter by King James in 1606 and became a joint stock company in 1609. The second company was the Plymouth Company also founded in 1606 by King James I and became a joint stock company. The main purpose of these two companies was to make money for the crown and the shareholders of these two joint stock companies in the City of London Corporation. There were competing interests for the plunder of North America with the Spanish in present day Florida. The founding principals in the colonies back then were to make a profit and get as much recruits as possible as North America was a giant dangerous wilderness with savage natives, disease, hunger and ruthless leaders. I'm sure that many of the "British blue blood" were Freemasons that ran colonies but it wasn't till 1717 that the United Grand Lodge of England came to being when "four London lodges came together at the Goose and Gridiron Ale House, St Paul’s Churchyard". The founding of the Grand Lodge was 111 years after the King James I charters to the two companies in 1606.
On an interesting side note the second great world power at that time (first power being the British empire), the Roman Catholic church had a role to play in the early founding of America. A prominent catholic Daniel Carroll according to an internet article:
"Daniel Carroll (July 22, 1730 – July 5, 1796) was a politician and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a prominent member of one of America's great colonial families that included his cousin Charles Carroll of Carrollton who signed the Declaration of Independence, and his brother John Carroll who was the first Catholic bishop in the United States. He was one of only five men to sign both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the United States."
It gets even more interesting:
"The choice of the present site of Washington was advocated by Carroll, and he owned one of the four farms taken for it, Notley Young, David Burns, and Samuel Davidson being the others interested. The capitol was built on the land transferred to the Government by Carroll, and there is additional interest to Catholics in the fact that, in 1663, this whole section of country belonged to a man named Pope, who called it Rome. On 15 April, 1791, Carroll and David Stuart, as the official commissioners of Congress, laid the corner-stone of the District of Columbia at Jones' Point near Alexandria, Virginia. When the Congress met in Washington for the first time, in November, 1800, Carroll and Notley Young owned the only two really comfortable and imposing houses within the bounds of the city. Young's name is among those assisting as collectors of subscriptions (1787) for the founding of Georgetown College."
"The Jesuit bishop John Carroll was probably the richest man in America in the late 1700's. Carroll allowed funding to construct D.C. (which is nicknamed "Rome on the Potomac"). The owner of the land used to be Francis Pope and his priest was Jesuit Andrew White (White House)."
"Washington D.C.'s original name was Rome, Maryland, and a branch of the Potomac River was called Tiber Creek, which was named after the Tiber river in Rome. Like Rome, Washington D.C. has 7 hills, whose names are: Capitol Hill, Meridian Hill, Floral Hills, Forest Hills, Hillbrook, Hillcrest, and Knox Hill."
The founding of America it's early years has a mixture of British imperialism, Freemasonry, and the Roman Catholic church in it.
