What do you make of this? Religion of America?

[Miss. Rzechkowski]

What do you make of this from the US treaty with Tripoli?

Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

For the record -
Mussalman and Mahometan (follower of Muhammad, a Muslim) both mean Muslim, by common definition.
