Feliz cuatro de julio

That may be "Happy Fourth of July" in Spanish, but I'm not sure. I do know that this is the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and is widely regarded as the birthday of the United States of America.

Millions of hours have been spent arguing about the religious feelings and motivations of the Founding Fathers. I don't want to add to the fray; I just want to say two things and get out of the way.

Being a member, or even a regular attendee, of a church doesn't make you a Christian. And even if this was founded as a Christian nation, it hasn't acted like one.
