I would disagree with them adding the Constitution, Bill of Rights and other secular writings to the Bible.
The idea that America was founded on biblical Christian principles is blasphemous to me. The love of money and not loving your neighbor as yourself, (one of the two greatest commands), has always been our nation's biggest sins.
(Exodus 21:16)
“Whoever kidnaps a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, or have already sold them as slaves, shall be put to death." This would apply to most of our forefathers. Participating in kidnapping, for selling or buying humans is punishable by death in the bible.
White Christians used the "Doctrine of Discovery" to justify their ungodly act of Native genocide and the kidnapping and enslavement of Africans. In 2005 Ruth Bader Ginsburg used the Doctrine of Discovery to rule that sovereign Indigenous nations could not regain sovereignty over land once it had relinquished control over the land to parties subject to the jurisdiction of state governments.
The Doctrine of Discovery stated that any land not inhabited by Christians was available to be "discovered," claimed, and exploited by Christian rulers and declared that "the Catholic faith and the Christian religion be exalted and be everywhere increased and spread, that the health of souls be cared for and that barbarous nations be overthrown and brought to the faith itself." This "Doctrine of Discovery" became the basis of all European claims in the Americas as well as the foundation for the United States’ western expansion.
The Natives that lived here for generations were like the fish and animals on the land, they had no ownership rights, they were unchristian savages.
We as Christians that worship the God of the bible must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24). We don't look at Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American like the secular world and Christian Nationalist. Abraham Lincoln was a white supremacist. On March 6, 1857, a final decision was delivered on the Dred Scott case, the United States Supreme Court held that the U.S. Constitution did not extend American citizenship to people of black African descent, and therefore they could not enjoy the rights and privileges the Constitution conferred upon American citizens. The next year Abraham Lincoln challenged Senator and leading Democrat Stephen Douglas for his seat in a series of debates. People knew Lincoln was for ending American chattel slavery to save the Union, but wanted to know did he personally believe blacks were equal to whites. on October 13, 1858, Lincoln responded to Douglas’s assertion that Lincoln saw no “distinction between races.”
Lincoln's Definition of Democracy
I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermingling with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior. I am as much as any other man in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
Nones or people not affiliated religiously are the second-largest religious group in a recent survey, 28% after 40% of Protestants and 20% of Catholics. These people are spiritual but don't want to affiliate with any religious group because of all the blatant hypocrisy in all the organized denominations. People aren't turning from God, but from the dysfunctional churches and organizations because of things like this.
