Yes, Christians separated church from state. Excellent move....made by Christians. Christians also wrote the cConstitution and the Bill of Rights. Every American owes their freedom to Christians and nothing derogatory written about them can change that. Christians led the fight against racism. They've been doing so for hundreds of years.

I'm not allowed to cross borders illegally. Nor should anyone else have that right. Yes, I know alot about Thomas Jefferson. He coined the phrase, "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." A Christian tenet.

Yes, there have been negative things done by Christians. But the positive they've done far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far far outweighs the negative. Haters of Christians never acknowledge this.

They liberated themselves from their own control, then. Besides that, it's pretty easy to give them credit when nearly 100% of Western society were some form of Christians or another, at a time. Others would have faced the threat of actual persecution---not just somebody speaking ill of the church.

Christianity was used to defend the institution of slavery!!! Here are some Jefferson Davis quotes:

African slavery, as it exists in the United States, is a moral, a social, and a political blessing.

My own convictions as to negro slavery are strong. It has its evils and abuses...We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Laws, in nature, tell us to recognize him - our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude...You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables them to be.

If slavery be a sin, it is not yours. It does not rest on your action for its origin, on your consent for its existence. It is a common law right to property in the service of man; its origin was Divine decree.

Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southerner apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance.

Let the gentleman go to Revelation to learn the decree of God - let him go to the Bible. . . . I said that slavery was sanctioned in the Bible, authorized, regulated, and recognized from Genesis to Revelation. . . . Slavery existed then in the earliest ages, and among the chosen people of God; and in Revelation we are told that it shall exist till the end of time shall come. You find it in the Old and New Testaments - in the prophecies, psalms, and the epistles of Paul; you find it recognized - sanctioned everywhere.

Is that how one leads the fight against racism for hundreds of years?

Again, when almost everyone in a country is some kind of Christian (at the time), then that necessitates that most good things will have been done, in those times, by Christians. That's like saying that humans are responsible for the good things that humans have done.

You seem to know a good bit about Thomas Jefferson, perhaps you can enlighten yourself as to more by checking out the Jefferson Bible.
