This painting is a classic case of ignorant people with too much time on their hands.
America was not founded to be a nation of ANY religion, in fact church and state separation is included in the first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I just saw Rachel Maddow segment on Conservative Wiki rewriting the bible to take out the liberal bias. WHaa??

I love the 3rd principle says not to dumb it down like some bible translations but then another principle says not to use language that is too flowery. I can already anticipate the Audiobook not read by a actor with great elocution but instead by the likes of George W Bush in his affected drawl and folksy mannerisms or in Sarah Palin's rambling and circular speech pattern.
