Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli signed November 1796

"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 tranquility of Musselmen... no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."


OK you presidential hypocrites, see we are NOT a Christian nation...Written and signed by our founders who knew the founding fathers a bit more personally than you do.
