[quote][b]Considering this country is "A Nation Under God",[/b] I say your point is pretty invalidated. But know one wants to accept or admit that America was indeed founded by Christians...[/quote]"Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the 1950s in the midst of the Cold War to differentiate the U.S. from the "godless" Soviets.
There is nothing in the Constitution that states the country to be one based on Christianity. On the other hand, it goes out it's way to keep religion and government separate (Via the Establishment clause of the First Amendment and the No Religious Test clause).
Your point is invalid.

It is not invalidated, because I never said it was a part of the constitution. This country was founded by people who wanted to be free by government rule and to practice their own religion. The King was very specific to just one religion, so it ruled out Christians and other religions as well. Yes, the government is separate from religion, because it was intended for religion to be untouched by governing. But then again, governments forced prayer out of school, and is calling refusal to violate one's beliefs as "discrimination". So I guess that didn't really work out didn't it?

Just calling it what it is. Your point is invalid.

Lol you're so ignorant You do realize, just like the word "gender", has had their definition changed due to political correct people? The definition of discrimination, as well as its legal meaning, was purely about ethnicity. But you're young. One day your brain will grow a little bit bigger.

That's because English is a living language. Words change and develop over time, that's why Latin is used for scientific names, because it's dead. "Gay" used to mean "happy". Now it's synonymous with "homosexual". See how that works? Language and society change over time to better fit the time in which they're in.

Good to know, and your points are still invalid.
