Note that this doesn't mention anything about Christianity. A Christian America is what David Barton, the "historian" Stewart is lambasting, is trying to promote with really really bad scholarship.
That quote was taken from the Declaration of Independence. The primary author of the Declaration of Independence was Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was a deist and not a Christian.
Generally speaking, deism purports the existence of a creator deity, but one that does not intervene in human affairs. However, I'm sure there is variation.
Jefferson extolled some virtues of the Bible and Christianity, but was highly critical of it as well. He was infamous for the Jefferson Bible. It was his own version of the Bible in which he removed all the supernatural elements, and things he considered wrong.
"there is no such thing as seperation of church from state. Its seperation of church and state inclusive" ?
It seems the crazier a guest's beliefs the more polite Jon is.
