And - does the treaty deny a Christian base in the political structure of the US - if so how? Or is that separation of church and state guaranteed by the Constitution?
How does Barlow's Freemasonry affect the issue - many of the founding fathers were Freemasons, as have been many more Chief Executives and their staffs.
Are you assuming a Templar connection to Freemasonry, and thus a 'dark grey' admission of Christian dominance through a lack of assertion in writing, but a tie through belief? The overt versus covert argument that has been espoused by many consiracy theorists?
I know what the thread is supposed to assert - get on with it, assume a stand and argue pro or con.
Also, at the time, as now, treaties were/are written in both languages, and reviewed by neutral and partial translators.
