Dear Ones,
President John Adams signed this treaty, the highest law of the land, in 1796 and ratified the next year. This important document states:
"The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Colonists were on the run from Europe to escape from the forced clutches of the Church of England. They fled to America for freedom against religion especially during centuries of Catholic popes torturing to death people who didn't adhere to the all-male club dogma of mythology. The asylum in rhe U.S. was welcome relief in the belief of "To each his own." Ironically English Puritan's escaped from Europe persecution and turned around and persecuted the Quakers. These bigoted newcomers cut the Quakers ears off, forced them to attend church every Sunday, had to pay a church tax and males weren't recognized as free men. They denied them any employment. They were pegged as "blasted heretics. Yet at Thanksgiving time in America Puritans are honored at the festive feast table in grand style. THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS QUINTESENTIAL.
