Nov 4th 2008.
Forbes told reporters, “and I would challenge anybody to tell me that point in time when we ceased to be so, because it doesn’t exist.”
And you said — Nov 4th 2008.

But, I would say that it was from the following Supreme Court decisions and the change that our country made “officially”...
“The Regent’s School Prayer” (Engel v. Vitale, 1962)
“School Prayer” (Murray v. Curlett, 1963)
“School Prayer & Bible Reading” (Abington Township School District v. Schempp, 1963)
and then...
Roe v. Wade in 1973

We are *not* a Christian nation and have not been for quite a long time, and it was long, long before Obama ever got here. Obama is the *result* of us not being a Christian nation and *not* the cause of it.
Although I’m Swedish, I love America.
However, I don’t love the US because everything in America is better than in my my country. Actually, Sweden outperforms America in many other fields than ice hockey, car saftey, IT, cheap furniture and gorgeous blonds.
Because of our undeniable competence in the area of business, technology and our Lutheran work ethics, Sweden today has a much stronger economy than the US and (from what I can tell) the average Swedish family enjoys a better standard of living than its American counterpart.
Call us Socialits if you like, at least we’re not the nation that recently has elected a Socialist government, neither do we tax our companies to death (- btw, one reason I love this forum is that most members here can see through the tranquillizing fairytales of Obama, so don’t take it too personally!).
Islam is a problem in Sweden. I won’t deny this. However, Sweden is actually more of a Christian nation than the US is!
ONLY 78.4% of all Americans consider themselves to be Christians.

In Sweden around 75% of the population belongs to the biggest Lutheran church on Earth, Church of Sweden. The rest of the population are Catholics, belong to different “free churches” and a small percentage of our population Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Jews.
Many Christians of America view us Swedes as Socialist zombies and robots. Yes, few of us go to church every week and sing “hallelujah”. Our church attendence is a catastophe. But does that mean Jesus Christs would deem Sweden of today Hell on Earth? I think not.
When I was a child I once asked my (Lutheran) grandmother the question “Where does one find God?”. Her answer was this: “God is found in the heart of every good person”.
