Is America a Christian or a Judeo-Christian Country?

There can be no doubt that the Jews have made outstanding contributions to the American scene in science, technology and in various cultural endeavours as well. But what about America's theological and ideological under-pinnings: Christian, or Judaeo-Christian?

Firstly, the historic fact is not even one Jew signed either the Declaration of Independence or the U.S. Constitution. Not one!

According to the book, Judaism's Strange Gods, by Michael Hoffman II, the Jewish Talmud--the main book of the Jewish faith today--contains ideas and doctrines blatantly-inimical to Bible teachings of both the Old and New Testaments. Here are a few samples:

Sanhedrin 90a: Those who read the New Testament will have no portion in the world to come.
Sanhedrin 116a: Jews must destroy the books of the Christians, i.e. the New Testament.
Abodah Zarah 22a-22b: Gentiles prefer sex with cows.
Baba Kamma 113a: Jews may use lies to circumvent Gentiles.
Abodah Zarah 36b: Gentile girls are in a state of filth from birth.
Sanhedrin 57a: A Jew need not pay a Gentile wages owed him for work. What a Jew steals from a Gentile, he may keep.
Baba Mezia 24a: If a Jew finds an object lost by a Gentile, he needs not return it to him.
Gittin 57a: Jesus is in hell, being boiled in hot excrement.
Menahoth 43b-44a: A Jewish man must say this prayer daily: "Thank you God, for not making me a Gentile, a woman or a slave."
Baba Mezia 59b: A clever Jewish rabbi bested God in a debate. God admitted the defeat.

Are these the ideas our nation's founders looked to, to draw up our Constitution and establish our nation otherwise? If you are repulsed by these statements from the Talmud, I hope you will then forever abandon any notion that America, at least in its founding ideology, is a "Judaeo-Christian" nation.
