There are many, many, in this country who believe that the Constitution is inherently linked to what they call Judeo-Christian values.

Yes, but they’re wrong, as can easily be told by reading the actual document, which doesn’t mention God at all, or any religion in particular.

I think otherwise because it is a reality.

No, it is not reality. The reality is that there is no mention of God in the Constitution whatsoever, and only a specification that the Government not respect the establishment of a religion.

And just as those in power can find enough ambiguity to legislate from religious doctrine in our country, they could interpret the Iraqi constitution to protect the rights of minorities if they so chose.

They’re not ‘finding’ ambiguity, though. They’re simply making it up.

Your argument is entirely without merit, and I’m feeling that once again, you’re just arguing to argue. That’s the generous interpretation.
