Nope, just pointing out that Christian's don't have the market cornered on prosperous and stable societies.
My thread is dealing with America, and our bill of rights is unique in that it’s guarantees us rights that are derived from a creator God.

"The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
- Atricle 11, Treaty of Tripoli, unanimously approved of by the US Senate one generation post-American Revolution.

bullshite. Reference to a god is only made in the Declaration of Independence, which was aimed primarily at King George who was religious.
The Bill of Rights are amendments to the U.S. Constitution, which is our actual law. God is conspicuously absent from same.
Which is why the common trope of "we were founded as a Christian nation" fails. It's an attempt at legitimacy through revisionist history.
Our founders were both deists and atheists. Regardless of their personal religious beliefs, they were products of The Enlightenment. They were also products of European history, which consisted of two millennia of sectarian violence and warfare.
We were not founded as a theocracy, but as a secular nation.
