According to presidential contender John McCain it is!

I take it John hasn’t studied American history very much. AMERICAblog commenter, Allen, listed several examples of just how Christian-leaning our Founding Fathers truly were:

• “Whenever we read the obscene stories [of the Bible], the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the Word of God.” -PAINE
• “The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.” -JEFFERSON
• “The United States of America should have a foundation free from the influence of clergy.” -WASHINGTON
• “As to Jesus of Nazareth, my Opinion of whom you particularly desire, I think the System of Morals and his Religion…has received various corrupting Changes, and I have, with most of the present dissenters in England, some doubts as to his Divinity.” -FRANKLIN
• “During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.” -MADISON
• “The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.” -ADAMS

What would Mr. McCain have to say to the above? Somehow I doubt we’ll ever find out. What’s important in all of this is that John made valuable points with America’s Christian-right. Whether it be from lying about American history and dissing it’s founders to caging voters, from Electoral college reform to swiftboating your competitors, Republicans (you know, the party of high morals and ethics) prove time and again they’ll stop at nothing to secure the seat of the presidency.
