If, as you say our government is based on Judeo-Christian morals then...
1) What part of the constitution proves your point.
2) Is there any specific part of the constitution that only a Christian could have come up with and/or accepted?
I would maintain that the intent of the founders was to create a government that would last, and one based on the idea of maximizing individual liberty and freedom to pursue his own happiness unincumbered or coerced by government; none of which could be considered uniquely Christian values. That's probably the major reason people from all religious persuasion flock to our shores.
Our government could have been created and/or accepted by agnostics, Deists or even atheists. Come to think of it...
