We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and this is clearly documented throughout our history.

Oh yeah - I almost forgot. The guy who wrote this obviously doesn't study history, either. This motto was officially adopted during the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s as a panacea during the "red scare" to reinforce the concept that the communists are atheists. It really was a "feel good" event. BTW - if that motto isn't a "Christian" motto as he claims, why does he then go on to give Christianity as the reason Congress adopted it?
OK - I'll stop now (probably).
