I mean they're right that the US was founded by a bunch of religious extremists and rich fuckers who didn't want to pay taxes. For which we do in fact see the ramifications still to this day.
But to draw the conclusion that somehow it's a good thing and we need more of it in public life is pretty twisted.
Founding fathers were mostly (if not all) deists, not Christian.
Oh yes, it was just that because Britain has treated its colonies so well throughout history. /S
Nowhere was I trying to say that Britain didn't mistreat its colonies. Not sure where that came from.
