These days, if you dare to suggest that the United States is a Christian nation or that it should be a Christian nation, you are likely to get viciously attacked. There are many voices on the left that have convinced themselves that America has never been a Christian nation and that it will never be a Christian nation. But in our system of government matters of law are not settled by what intellectuals on the left think. Rather, in our system of government matters of law are settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken very clearly on this matter.
In Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court emphatically stated in 1892 that “this is a Christian nation”…
If we pass beyond these matters to a view of American life, as expressed by its laws, its business, its customs, and its society, we find every where a clear recognition of the same truth. Among other matters, note the following: the form of oath universally prevailing, concluding with an appeal to the Almighty; the custom of opening sessions of all deliberative bodies and most conventions with prayer; the prefatory words of all wills, “In the name of God, amen;” the laws respecting the observance of the Sabbath, with the general cessation of all secular business, and the closing of courts, legislatures, and other similar public assemblies on that day; the churches and church organizations which abound in every city, town, and hamlet; the multitude of charitable organizations existing every where under Christian auspices; the gigantic missionary associations, with general support, and aiming to establish Christian missions in every quarter of the globe.

However in character, it most certainly is.
Obama did the US was a muslin nation
What we titled the Treaty of Paris which we forced the British to sign at the end of the Revolution says “In the name of the most Holy and Undivided Trinity. I say that is all the evidence needed.
If we weren’t ,we would have been destroyed by now .

Many thanks for the info!!
Closer to the point, the US Constitution ends with:
"Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twelfth In witness whereof We have hereunto subscribed our Names...."
The US constitution literally refers to *OUR LORD* .
The US Constitution also exempts the president from working on Sundays.
Article I, Section 7If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it,
But a Christian nation? I don't say that's a bad thing, but I'm not seeing it.
