Use of mind-altering drugs, Biblically, is a state of drunkenness. The Bible forbids drunkenness.

The Bible is the rule and guide in life for the believer in Christ, and the Christian is directed to live according to the Word of God, the Bible, over and above all human-devised civil laws, which they also are exhorted to obey to the extent that they do not conflict with Scripture.

If one honestly studies the Bible, one will see this.

In order to not be anti-Christ, one must love Christ and obey his commands; the Bible specifically teaches that there is no middle ground. A person, as well as a nation, either loves Christ or hates him, because if they don't love him, they will not be obedient to him. And he said:

John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

The whole of John 14 is essential reading regarding obedience to Christ, among other subjects.

The Constitution does not explicitly declare the US to be a Christian nation; I look forward to the day when America would explicitly covenant with God, thus nationally covenant to be a Christian nation. That's the only way a nation can avoid eventually coming under God's judgement nationally.

As it was for the Scottish Covenanters, this desire is rooted on Scripture.

The precise reason why we see increasing rejection of God today in America is because our Constitution rejects him; the nation is built on a foundation of secular humanism, not God's Word. Thus most of our Churches have become corrupt themselves, and many people reject and even mock God. But the Bible tells us that Christ's Kingdom prevails in time and history, and nations will either bow the knee to Christ or fall:

Psalm 22

"27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations."
