United States of America: The Christian Nation

When I say "we", I am referring to the U.S.A. Not any other nations, although other nations can be brought up in this discussion.

Are we a Christian nation? Most would say "yes", we are. But why? Is it because the majority of Americans claim to be Christians? Well then, if this is so, why not call America a white nation? A female nation? Does the majority define a country? I'd hate to think so. Discuss. Thanks for your time.

Obama pretty much got it right.

America is a nation of sheep. Blind, idiotic sheep. They go to work, slave away, worship imaginary saviors, then go to bed, wake up and do it all over again the next day. What a waste of life.Hugh-G-Rection

Yes, as evidenced by its population, policies, laws, and history. /threadBabbsTheTitan

It's pretty obvious that the U.S. is not, and was never intended to be a Christian nation.-Sun_Tzu-

THats different their government and their policies hinge directly by Islamic law and ideals.. The United States government does not.

We are supposed to be the melting pot of the world. Not the stew with a few spices thrown in.

Look, I'm an atheist too, but that's not the way you spread your message.

No nation should consider itself as a whole a certain religion, except maybe the UK as the head of state is also the head of the Church of Englandmarkop2003

Does that make the UK the Gay Nation? :o

I agree. Everyone should be represented equally. If they are not, we need to change.

I don't claim any religion... But people in this country are free to claim any religion, as evidenced by my family. And the majority of Americans that claim to be Christian don't practice it anyway.. they're just scared they're going to go to hell or something if they say they're not Christians...-GeordiLaForge-

While I agree with you, that's not what this thead is about. It's not about religion, but about the equal representation of American people.

I assure you, it did not take 200 years for America to secularise. . .the Establishment Clause came a bit before then.
