11. Why Rebut it?
Yes, it was founded on Christian principles, mainly because Christianity permeated Europe and the early American colonists were a product of that environment. That does not mean that America was meant to be a Christian nation. No early flags for the country ever depicted a cross and in one treat signed with the Barbary pirate, it is stated that the United States is blind to religion.

So agree with the people who assert that but let them know that it doesn't mean no other religion is allowed here or that Christianity deserves to be favored. Past bias does not authorize future preference.
