10. You indirectly hit on something that drives me mad

this is a nation formed under God

Many of the Christians (and others) either truly believe this, or knowingly lie about it. Sure, some of the founding fathers were Christian, but many were not. I wish I had specific numbers.

For example, the writer of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, was a Deist (as I believe several other of the founding fathers were). A Deist is not a Christian.

Many believe that George Washington wasn't a Christian either. He went to church, but always left before communion. When the preacher confronted him on this fact, he stopped going altogether.
