Question:
Dear Rabbi,
Can jewish applicants apply to societies or organizations in America who use a christian bible verse as their motto? I would say no, but today I discovered the CIA’s motto is a verse from the book of John. Does this affirm we are in a land of christian influence total or we school humor to good tidings.
Curious.
Answer:
It is true that America is a christian country, and the main religion there is such. This is especially true for the fouding fathers of the country.
