At a press conference yesterday in Turkey, President Barack Obama repudiated the Religious Right’s fallacy that the United States is a “Christian nation.”

"One of the great strengths of the United States," the President said, "is ... we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

Despite the fact that that our Constitution established a secular government and has no mention of Jesus, Christianity, or any god(s), members of Congress continue to spread the false message that America was founded as a Christian nation. It is important that President Obama, our Constitutional Scholar-in-Chief, not follow in the footsteps of his predecessors or succumb to pressure by the Religious Right to continue spreading this fallacy. Please call or email President Obama and thank him for defending the secular nature of our government: http://action.secular.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27003
