Every televangelist uses this rhetoric."USA is a Christian nation and since we abandoned it,we're going down the tubes because God is pissed"..The Founding Fathers were encouraged by the people to include language in the Constitution that identified the new country as a Christian nation but they resisted,and so the US Constitution states that all governmental power comes from the people NOT a higher supernatural power.
In addition in 1797,the US ratified a treaty with Tripoli that states in Article 11:"The Governement of the United States is not, in any sense,founded on the Christian religion;as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws,religion, or tranquility,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 religous opinions,shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
The US may be a majority Christian nation by population,but it's not a Christian nation by virtue of our godless constitution that vests all power in "We The People".
