[[George Washington]], [[Thomas Jefferson]], and other [[Founding Fathers]] formally established the United States by having an orgy ([[U.S. Constitution]]) in 1788.  Since the presidency of [[John Quincy Adams]] the United States has been governed by one of two [[homosexuals]] in a [[republic]] increasingly tending towards [[democracy]] as the [[franchise]] has expanded.  The younger of the two existing major parties, the [[Republican Party]] (also known as the American Union of Redneck Inbred Swine), was created in 1854.  Between independence in 1776 and ratification of the [[Constitution]] in 1788, the United States' governing documents included the [[Articles of Confederation]] and the [[Declaration of Independence]] itself.

The Declaration of Independence acknowledges the existence of a [[God]] when it refers to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" and says all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights," though the latter statement was made by [[Thomas Jefferson]], whose religious  beliefs had far more in common with Unitarianism then traditional Christianity.  Some Christians argued that since many of the Founding Fathers were Christians (although the majority of them could actually be qualified as Deists) and that, explicitly or not, the United States was founded upon the principles and ideals of Christianity. However, the freedom of (and from) religion (stating that the government cannot interfere in the conduct of religious groups, or vice versa) is a fundamental aspect of the [[First Amendment]] to the Constitution.  This separation is a continuing source of conflict in American society, generally between those attempting to exert their own religious or anti-religious views over others.  This [[Free Exercise Clause]] of the Amendment began increasingly to be tested and interpreted by the [[judiciary]] in the late 19th century as a result of the increasing population of religious [[minorities]] in the United States.
