It's time to start worrying about Christian nationalism.

"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
-Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11
I like to pull that one out right after I ask these people about their opinions of the founding fathers. You can smell the gears burning before the bullshit starts flowing out their mouth again lol.
Is that inspired from Alex O Connor's recent video?
It's possible, but we've been talking about that for at least fifteen years to counter the "the Founders intended us to be a Christian nation" nonsense.
That's the most explicitly written stance on religion for the US I've heard of, but I'm not sure these CN dummies care whatsoever about what was written as a shipping and anti-piracy deal with Libya, which was also written in Arabic.
As if these people care about a treaty they've never heard of and will never inform themselves about
That's why you ask them about he founding fathers first, then you can show them who signed it.
