Addressing the principle and not the avowed expressed hater of Judeo/Christian traditions; I will say that it's possible I was misinformed.

“I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”
~ Thomas Jefferson (Jefferson memorial Rotunda  Washington D,C.)

Much depends on where we stand, doesn't it? Personally, I stand  with  time honored, total alignment against all those who tyrannically denigrate the cornerstones of Western Civilization's Greco/Roman - Judea/Christan Values that have enriched our faithful American Republic +

3838, the irony and ignorance here is hilarious!

Very few of the quotations on the Jefferson Memorial were made by Jefferson. On Religion Jefferson said, "No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship or ministry".

Don't know if it's sad or funny that they quoted John Wilkes Booth after mis-quoting Thomas Jefferson but either way the irony sure is hilarious.

Yeah, Wasn't he the same person that said this country was not founded on judeo Christian Principles?

No less than the Father of our Country, and First President:

"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."
- George Washington
~
'Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
~

"It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor."
~
"Providence has at all times been my only dependence, for all other resources seemed to have failed us"
~
"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all."
~

Thank God for the great leadership of this courageous hero in times of war and peace.

Religion doesn't belong in politics. If you believe in your magical sky daddy, keep it to yourself. Nobody wants to hear that garbage. There's absolutely no evidence of any gods existing.

They either never read the Book of Exodus, the Amendment to the United States Constitution especially the first and thirteenth Amendments or are pitifully stupid.

How can any intelligent person conclude "Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise" and "Thou shalt have no other gods before on me" mean the same thing? Why would anyone believing "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images." create a Right to worship anything they want?

The Bible was used to condone slavery before the 13th Amendment. How exactly can the U.S. Constitution be based on Judea/Christan Values when the evidence proves the opposite?

Must be a sin to fact check before misquoting someone. Jefferson wrote,

“I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;’ thus building a wall of eternal separation between Church & State,”.

Maybe they're related to George Santos?
