So less than half the States have this as a law, and it doesn't seem like it's widely used at all. A case or two every few years at most. Again, it really appears to be a seldom used law and only when cops and the DA are trying to be dicks.
Well, yea, it's 2010. I'm sure it was far more common and more rigorously prosecuted a century or two ago.
If this were something that all states had and was actively enforced; ok I'd buy it. But it's not. If the US were founded on Christian values, this and the other 6 non-law Commandments would be law everywhere.
I don't see how the existence or enforcement of an adultery law today says anything one way or the other about whether the country was "founded on Christian values."
