The [[Declaration of Independence]] supposes 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."  That statement was inserted at the request of [[Thomas Jefferson]], whose religious beliefs were more Unitarianism / Christian.

It is established fact that most early The United Statesians came there for Religious Freedom.  It is also an established fact that people did live here before North America was "discovered."  The United States'[[Founding Fathers]] called themselves Christians, and acted as though the United States was founded upon the principles and ideals of Christianity.

Despite their own beliefs however,  the [[Founding Fathers]] specifically placed into the [[First Amendment]] to the [[U.S. Constitution]] a statement that the government cannot interfere in the conduct of religious groups, and grants "Freedom of Religion" for all faiths.  That statement is often referred to as the "Free Exercise Clause."
