‘基督教是这个国家的本,他们是靠基督教立国的。’ 昨天我表示基本上同意你的说法。后来仔细想过,有在网上看了一些东西,发现你的说法其实是不正确的。这里是我在网上找到的:
The 'Treaty of Tripoli' (June 7, 1797) specifically states, in Article 11: "As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." This treaty, unanimously approved by the Senate and signed into law by John Adams only a few years after the ratification of the Constitution, is taken by constitutional scholars to be a clear and unambiguous declaration of the intent of the founders. 政教分离是美国立国的基本原则之一。当然,基督教作为西方文化的重要组成部分,对美国的政治有非常大的影响,但并不能说成是立国之本。
