U.S. were worshipers of UFOs, another galaxy's sun,
artificial intelligence, or something else that we haven't even
considered yet? Would you still want that religion to be this
country's religion? It can happen, as it did in historic Spain,
Israel, America.
If it were true that America was a Christian nation, we would
all sell all we have, give to the poor, feed all of the hungry,
clothe the impoverished, take in the orphans, be kind, show
compassion, not be soldiers, not be political, share
everything we have, stay single, forgive old debts, not kill
others, not judge, and treat our bodies right.
At the moment, America does not do these things.

The Treaty of Tripoli (1979)
“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 Mussulmen
[Muslims], —and as the said States never entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mahometan [Mohammedan] 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.” - Download
