brainlessone, I agree wholeheartedly with this:
there is an American religion that people beleive in that serves to unify all the personal religions
I believe the values and principals expressed in our US Constitution are so woven into the American psyche, they rise to the level of "religious" belief. But our entire government and legal systems were founded on Judeo-Christian principals, and on the 10 Commandments specifically. Americans believe in our Consititutional rights with the utmost conviction.
