==Myth==&lt;br /&gt;
It is often argued, especially by Biblical fundamentalists, that the United States is a Christian nation – that is, that one or both of the following are true:&lt;br /&gt;
* The country's laws (especially the Constitution) are based on Christian teachings, especially the Ten Commandments.&lt;br /&gt;
* The founding fathers intended to endorse and support Christianity, or Christian principles, by codifying them in law.&lt;br /&gt;
==Reality==&lt;br /&gt;
No, it isn't.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Constitution codifies a principle known as separation of church and state, specifically stating that &amp;quot;Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion&amp;quot; (Article I)&lt;br /&gt;
* The Constitution specifically prohibits requirements of religious affiliation for holding public office in the US (Article III)&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;In God We Trust&amp;quot; on US money and the phrase &amp;quot;under God&amp;quot; in the US Pledge of Allegiance were not part of the original design of the US and were not officially adopted until the mid-20th century, almost two centuries after the US was founded.&lt;br /&gt;
