An Open Letter to Fox News' Hannity and Colmes by Alexander Villacampa

Alexander Villacamp was a little pissed when Hannity and Colmes dropped him for a segment on the separation of church and state in favor of an atheist for a segment on church and state. I'm sure the atheist did a great job with the issue. Villacampa, a libertarian, has a perspective that helps our cause.  Sometimes we forget that we are not alone.

...many of the individuals in favor of these Ten Commandment displays, such as you, Sean Hannity, claim that the United States of America is a Christian nation founded on Christian laws; this can not be farther from the truth. In all reality, one of the principle reasons for the creation of the United States was freedom of religion and the separation of religion from the state. This is something the British crown did not practice and which led to many acts against minority religious groups by the English government. It was the intent of the Founding Fathers that the United States government be free from all ties to any specific religion.

Of course, I'm a libertarian too.
