the First Amendment:  **Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.**

So when he says, **We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values,** he's saying that people can have ideals and a set of values, regardless of what their religion is, or whether they believe in a religion at all.

We each have the right to choose the religion we believe.  Sometimes it chooses us.  Sometimes we reject same because we want to see more proof.  Sometimes we accept same unconditionally, unquestionably and to the extent that if *God* told someone to walk in front of a tractor-trailer doing about 80 mph that it would be okay.

Modes of religion are numerous and private to each person.  His speech spoke of America as a whole, without demanding that one religion be superior to another.

He did exactly what he should have done.

I saw very little admirable, factual, interesting or thoughtful in his post.  If all these people admire him, like you say, this country is in more trouble than I thought.
