Fundamentalism, USA Style

[DaevG at aol.com]

I realized that I didn't indicate sufficiently in my post that the text from 
which what follows was not written by me but rather excerpted from the letter 
Henry received from a business associate. My message, which followed about a 
paragraph of this was of a markedly different timbre, and included the words: 
"It's interesting to note that 'In God We Trust' didn't appear on any 
currency till 1864, meaning it really has nothing to do with our nation's 
supposed founding on Christian principles."

So though as I am quoted as saying this:
> ">From: DaevG at aol.com
> >"In God We Trust" is our national motto. [...] We adopted this motto 
> >because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this 
> >
 I did not, and the person who did remains gladly anonymous. 

Thought I needed to clear that up.
