I think that's incorrect. The ideas of our government are based on
Puritan derived ideas of natural law (which were also agreed upon by
Deists who are more Christian than a lot of "Christian" groups today).
That said, the government is not Christian... I just don't think it is
right to say it isn't based on Christianity, it is the very principles
of Puritan Christianity that lead to the innovative, civil system that
we have.
