The founders based our principles on the principles of the Enlightenment -- ideas based on secular humanism intended to throw off both the yoke of the King (or ruling class) and of the Church.

One really great way to get them is to point out "The Jefferson Bible," wherein TJ expressly states that he is not a spiritualist, but a materialist -- and cuts out the parts of the Bible he thinks are hokey.

In addition -- I think it was John Adams that wrote in the Treaty of Tripoli that "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."

My question is this: WHAT did the founders put in place to assure that if the populace became so dumb and apathetic that they, in essence, voted BACK IN King & Church? (In other words, the GOP...)
