H. Res. 888

At least it wasn't H.R. 666. Here is the title of this bill:
Affirming the rich spiritual and religious history of our Nation's founding and subsequent history and expressing support for designation of the first week in May as "American Religious History Week" for the appreciation of and education on America's history of religious faith.
Right away I'm suspicious of this resolution because it is cosponsored by "Mean Jean" Schmidt of Ohio, Patrick T. McHenry of N. Carolina., John T. Doolittle of California and Tom Feeney of Florida (you can check out the last two of these guys here.

You have to ask yourself "what exactly is the purpose of this resolution"? It appears to be a resolution that gets the "fact" that we are a Christian Nation into the Congressional Record and then into the history books. I don't know if we were founded as a Christian nation or not. I agree that the majority of people living in the USA are Christians....but does that make us a "Christian Nation"? Don't these guys have anything better to do?
