I don't care if the Treaties of Toothpaste and Toilet paper don't.
ANY OFFICIAL Treaties doing so remains a huge deal.
I see, so the Treaty of Tripoli, signed after the creation of the Constitution (not before, like the Treaty of France), ratified by congress, and signed into law which explicitly states that The United States is in no way founded on the Christian Religion, supported by the fact that many of our founding fathers were not typical Christians, rejected religious institutions, and perhaps most important of all, is that our government and its founding document deliberately go to lengths to avoid unnecessary entanglement between the religious institutions of these states, and itself.
In fact, the government is so clearly secular, that atrocities like "in god we trust" be emblazoned on our coins and currency was only possible after tremendous wars, when people are at their most vulnerable. In fact, the fascist Christian wing has taken over (although briefly) only after great tragedies such as World War II (with McCarthyism), during Reconstruction after the Civil War, and now, after September 11th.

It proves those that desperately LIE again and again, saying our nation was not founded on christian principles AND the bible.....
When it so clearly was not.

You're too stuffed up in your own self-righteous christian lunacy to understand the most simple of concepts that secularism protects your insane belief system.
I don't think Godwin's law applies when the actual thread concerns which rights can be taken away from someone based on their religious beliefs or lack thereof. This is more a case of the OP and other posters hoping to recreate their own "Nuremberg style" laws in the current day United States.
"Nuremberg style" laws?
Where is anyone following orders in the circumstance that you are addressing?
True. But it's useful to have a peek at the Christian heritage we've been furiously trying to erase.
I don't suppose that you realize that it is the "Christian heritage" that placed these restrictive laws on the books, do you?
Some groups just cannot stand anyone having thoughts different than their own.
