text: Their intent is admirable and reflective of some of the good to be found in any institution.  Unfortunately, this christian institution was founded on mythology and pieced together from the other religions known in the Middle East/Asia by a Pope 300 years after the supposed birth of its namesake.  Combining the new religion with the existing, one god religion of Judaism to eliminate the multiple gods of Roman/Greek religion to simulate the Roman Emperor, one man rule.  All performed at the behest of a Roman Emperor to aid in quelling uprisings within the empire.  The U.S. was formed by deists rejecting christian religion ruling Europe at the time.  Humanity has suffered from the religious dictatorship wielded by tyrants since the establishment of collective societies.  Christian, Islam, Judaism, et. all. their purpose is to for small groups to control the larger groups for the small group dominance.  All of the good works could be done without religion.
