thegermansmakegoodstuff asked: Hi there! A quote you put up recently - "The Government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian religion." - is commonly attributed to John Adams, but they're not exactly his words. They're from the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. It was passed unanimously by Congress, and President Adams signed it into law. I just discovered your blog and I love it, keep up the great work.

That’s true, and I’m aware. I believe, but am not entirely sure, that John Adams had a key role in developing the treaty. I could be wrong though. Nonetheless he was the president at the time.
