It is clear that God raised up this nation - Washington said so in his inaugural address, and Franklin said as much. Many founders believed it. We were a Christian nation then (more than 99%).
We are a nation under God in the sense that God established us and lets us exist...for now. All nations are under God whether they acknowledge that fact or not. Our founders acdnowledged it in that now obscure document known as the Declaration of Independence.
But are we truly under God in the moral sense? No. This nation is on a moral freefall like the world has never seen. This moral freefall can be seen in the bad laws we make, the growing power of the federal government (tyranny), the bad leaders we have and have had in the courts, the Congress and President (Clinton!), as well as in the Nazi-like Democratic Party. These bad leaders are a direct reflection of the people.
A lady asked Franklin after the Constitutional Convention what form of government we had. He replied, "A republic, if ou can keep it." Can we keep it? I don't think so. I have very little hope for this nation. Once a nation is this far down the road of moral awfulness, there is no historical precedent for believing that we will recover. It would take an act of God.
Let's put aside, for the moment, what I think.
That America is a nation founded under God, protected by God, and built upon God's Word is what our Founders said of the nation they established as a Constitutional Republic...
...and here's what the Library of Congress has to say on this same topic:

What reprobates and satan-followers since then have done to it is another matter. What reprobates and satan-followers are trying to do to it now, and what the appropriate Christian response to this onslaught should be, is the topic of this article.
