*Ø* Blogmanac November 4, 1796 | USA is not one nation under God
Treaty between USA and Libya signed
“As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”
So reads Article 11 of the Treaty with Tripoli (Libya), made during the presidency of George Washington and signed on this day in 1796.
The Tripoli Treaty is frequently cited to indicate that the USA was not founded on Christianity.
“The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense founded on the Christian religion …”
The Founding Fathers were not Christians
