I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
2 Timothy 4:16
"The court not only declares that this is a "religious nation," but that 
it is a "Christian nation."
The people, therefore, are not only
religious but they are Christians-yes, Jews, infidels, and all.
Q: For is
not the Supreme Court the highest judicial authority in the United
States?
Q: and when this court lays it down as the supreme law-as the meaning of
the Constitution-that the people are religious, and are Christians, then
does not that settle the question?
A: Not at all.
---The very absurdity of

Q: What religion did Ferdinand and Isabella have in mind when they issued
that document?
Q: What religion did they profess?
A: The Catholic religion, to be sure.
---And not only that,

under the generalship of Torquemada, and who, because Spain was a
"Christian nation," sentenced to confiscation of all goods and to
banishment every Jew who would not turn Catholic.
*And this is the first piece of "historical" authority by
which the Supreme Court of the United States adjudges American citizens
"to be a religious people," and by which that court decides that this is
a "Christian nation."
