SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Members of a county Republican Party in Idaho are to take up a measure on Tuesday evening that would declare the state a Christian one to bolster what the proposal calls the "Judeo-Christian bedrock of the founding of the United States."

The resolution to be voted on by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee is non-binding, meaning it does not have the effect of laws or rules.

The proposal seeks that Idaho be "formally and specifically declared a Christian state," guided by a Judeo-Christian faith reflected in the U.S. Declaration of Independence where all authority and power is attributed to God, the resolution reads.

Awesome! Good for them, I think I 'll write my state congressmen and tell them to do the same.
 
Bjorn Handeen, a committee member who described himself as a Republican with libertarian leanings:

"Ultimately, I'm not in favor of dividing us by religion; I'm in favor of uniting us by freedom,"

Good for him!
