Provided here is a short scene from a true American classic The Bells Of Saint Marys The scene opens as Father OMalley (Bing Crosby) is about to be introduced by Sister Benedict (Ingrid Bergman) to the students of the school. The children stand before the nuns, facing the America Stars and Stripes while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Our United States Constitution reflects the views of our Founding Fathers in a Secular Government by and for the People while at the same time protecting the freedom of any religious belief, or in no specific belief at all. Another example would be the little known Treaty of Tripoli which was ratified by the U.S. Senate, and signed by President John Adams on June 10, 1797, this document declares: As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries... youtu.be/l7Sq_U44gko
