>>509934601>picthat quote is from the fabricated Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli which was written by Joel Barlow, and atheist activist, knowing full well that the US Government had no Navy and thus was forced to ratify that ISLAMIC religious treaty of tribute to the barbary pirates.
John Adams did not say that. and the fact that it's from AZQUOTES is atrocious.
go on, look it up. the Article 11 was recently found to be a fraud because the Arabic copy of that treaty was found and compared to the original.
and by the way, that quote only says "government". a nation is not a government. these are different concepts. while it can be said that the US Federal government was made non-Christian, it was created for a nation of Christians to operate.
