Default RE: Sunday Hunting ban

The founding fathers of this country were chrisitians and this once great country was founded on christian beliefs.
Many, maybe even mostwere Christians, but many were not. Of thefirst 4presidents, Washington never acknowledged Jesus Christ, Adams was a Unitarian, Jefferson a deist and Madison an out and out athiest. By the way Lincoln was a self proclaimedatheist as well. Thomas Payne of "Common Sense" fame was a deist and animately denied Christ on his death bed. Ben Franklin claimed to be a deist but most scholars think he and Jefferson both were atheist but wouldn't admit it.In any case, the country was clearly established onsecular principles. Theymade sure no religion, and that includes the Christian religion, would have influence over or be favoured by the government. The government of the U.S. was unquestionably founded as secular. It seems to me that the blue laws are religious in their origin and should be gotten rid of.

By the way, this country is STILL a great country!
