The United States of America is not, in any sense founded on the Christian religion |
| Religious Right
groups have dishonestly attempted to rewrite history by claiming the U.S.

historical evidence. Example: the Treaty of Tripoli explicitly reveals,
in a lawful document, the intentions of our Founding Fathers.

| Something to Think About: |  |
Science tells us what we can know, but what we can know is little, and if we forget how much we cannot know we become insensitive to many things of great importance. Theology, on the other hand, induces a dogmatic belief that we have knowledge where in fact we have ignorance, and by so doing generates a kind of impertinent insolence towards the universe. Uncertainty, in the presence of vivid hopes and fears, is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales. It is not good either to forget the questions that philosophy asks, or to persuade ourselves that we have found indubitable answers to them. To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it. |
