I live in Florida, in a small town that has a church on every street corner. This is common throughout the South, which is not known for it's love of "unbelievers". Many candidates for the 2016 election believe that people like me can't be true Americans because, apparently, "the constitution is based on biblical principles." Discrimination against atheists is only illegal in Madison, Wisconsin, and this decision was viewed as "controversial". I'm worried not only for other atheists, but also for every other citizen in this country. Pretty much all the founding fathers were Christian, so it's impossible that the constitution is completely secular. It might be better that way, but then, I'm Catholic, so my opinion is slightly biased. There is no refrence to scripture, or any reference of "god" or "creator" throughout the entire Constitution. In fact, most of the Founding Fathers are believed to be deists, Thomas Jefferson, for example. (You can research this further if you want).
