Article 1, Section 7 of the United States Constitution: "...If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law."

Why are Sundays excepted if the founders didn't want to make this a Christian nation? Pagans don't have a sabbath day, neither do Muslims, and the Jews' sabbath is on Saturday. Boom.

In all seriousness though, we have to give Christianity credit for turning the barbaric pagans of Europe into the great nations of western civilization. Individualism, rationalism, virtue, equality for all. These ideals originate from Ancient Rome, but were adopted and revived by Christianized Europe and unlike Ancient Rome formed a culture that instilled importance on chivalry and morality. All the freedoms we enjoy today are because of Christian principles, not from the teachings of Thor, Ganesh or Allah. I think Jefferson and Madison probably detested Muslims because of the Barbary Pirates that would enslave American merchants. After meeting an ambassador from Tripoli to stop the unwarranted attacks on American merchant ships, Thomas Jefferson wrote:

It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise...

That was written in the 1700's. Doesn't seem like too much has changed in the last 200+ years for the mussulman, actually really since Islam's inception in the 7th century. Some cultures are better than others and I think it's important to address the reasons why, even if it offends some.
