You are wrong about the Treaty of Tripoli, I have a copy of it in front of me. Nowhere does it say or contain: "The government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." -- Treaty with Tripoli, 1797
Any comments?

No. You are wrong.
Here is a photo of Article XI, from the English translation, of the section in question.
This version is what passed the House and Senate unanimously.
Next objection to our position?
