If you look at a dollar bill one of the designs on there is a pyramid, topped by an eye.

Pyramids pre-date the Christians, as does the idea of an all-seeing entity.

What makes me greatly concerned is that religion has been used as a political tool to great effect throughout history. It is used to claim supernatural powers and divine rights.

Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs claimed to be descended from the gods. It gave the right to do pretty much anything they wanted to do.

Christians are a scary political force engaged in a fierce power grab. They claim ownership of the Constitution, rights to interpret laws, and don't seem to have many scruples in how they go about seizing power.

The separation of church and state is a basic foundation of our government and I am deeply disturbed by efforts to take that away. This Christian power grab is not what our Founding Fathers intended or wanted for our country.
??? Okay, and there are mallard ducks in the water near here. Neither the eye of Osirus or the ducks have anything what so ever to do with the discussion. Believe it or not, there were NO dollar bills when our country was founded, and the current emblems on our money are less than a hundred years old. As it happens, our country is a tiny bit older than that. So this entire line of argument is totally invalid and meaningless.
