I believe that America was founded and organized upon Christian principles and that the Constitution was inspired by God, but I agree that the merging of Christian traditions with secular holidays comes dangerously close to deifying the state. It's "God and country", don't merge the two.
^The bolded statement, if interpreted to mean anything beyond that Christian principles informed the Constitution in some capacity, really bothers me. Are all government documents divinely inspired or only that of the US?
