Although I'm atheist, I'm pretty sure you don't have to be in order to find this batty.

Texas approves textbooks with Moses as Founding Father

...seems legit...the Ten Commandments are after all a foundation of our legal system .

Another win for the rational members of society. Stay small atheists.

Moses has always been a founding father, and we've always been at war with Eastasia.

Moses was:
-Born into a slave caste with an internal theocratic government
-As a child he was adopted and raised at the highest echelons of an absolute monarchy and elite aristrocracy
-His early adulthood was spent leading a revolt against slavery ("let my people go", remember?)
-The concept of "democracy" or a "constitutional republic" had not even been *conceived* during his lifetime
-He was a JEW. There WERE NO CHRISTIANS IN ANCIENT EGYPT. He died thousands of years before the rabbi Yeshua was BORN.

So, no, the USA was *not* founded in any way, shape, or form on beliefs or practices from the time of Moses.

A person who lived before the birth of Christ wasn't a Christian?

Lol. Texas - you so silly.
