Congrats on winning Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth by Joe Conason. And here is his/hers favorite conservative lie:
“America is founded upon Judeo-Christian values.”
Which is also one of my favorite lies because Judeo values and Christian values are completely different. I mean, that’s why Christians updated the Old Testament. They wanted to eat bacon.

Congratulations, I have agree, as do the founders.
George Washington: “As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”
President John Tyler, in an 1843 letter: “The United States have adventured upon a great and noble experiment, which is believed to have been hazarded in the absence of all previous precedent — that of total separation of Church and State. No religious establishment by law exists among us. The conscience is left free from all restraint and each is permitted to worship his Maker after his own judgment. The offices of the Government are open alike to all. No tithes are levied to support an established Hierarchy, nor is the fallible judgment of man set up as the sure and infallible creed of faith. The Mohammedan, if he will to come among us would have the privilege guaranteed to him by the constitution to worship according to the Koran; and the East Indian might erect a shrine to Brahma, if it so pleased him. Such is the spirit of toleration inculcated by our political Institutions.”

@Laci the Dog – I’m a big fan of Benjamin Franklin’s quote: “Lighthouses are more helpful than churches.”

Shit this is like the best thing that ever happened ever since the Republican Party turned from a progressive reformers to a sad bunch of propagandist rabble rousers half a century ago. Thanks, PP. I’ll write a 15 pages long book review rambling on in style of our man Glenn Beck in precise and accurate MLA format with full selected bibliography so Bill O’Reilly wouldn’t tackle me about formal errors of my writing.

On a final note, I would like to glee and gloat about me winning by introducing a conversation between Austrian Emperor Josef I and a librarian in Hofbibliothek back from 18th century.
The Emperor was reading religious writings by Saint Augustine in a dark, dusty room in the Hofbibliothek. Then the librarian approached him with a candle and apologized for the poor lighting. The Emperor replied:
“Do not worry; it is of no matter, for there’s never much of light in religion anyway.”
And we’re talking about the Emperor of the nation that was the hardcore defender of fundamentalist Catholicism for centuries. Hear, hear.

Yo, PP, too bad the old fart is dead. I hear he had a thing for “professional women”.
Ol’ Ben could take you on a tour of the City of Brotherly Loves’ titty bars!

“The clergy…believe that any portion of power confided to me [as President] will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly: for I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: and enough, too, in their opinion.” – Thomas Jefferson (1800)
“[When] the [Virginia] bill for establishing religious freedom… was finally passed,… a singular proposition proved that its protection of opinion was meant to be universal. Where the preamble declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word “Jesus Christ,” so that it should read “a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion.” The insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend within the mantle of its protection the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo and infidel of every denomination.” – Thomas Jefferson (1821)
