No, the U.S. is not a Christian nation. The goal of the U.S. Constitution is to recognize God-given rights, not to advance the goals of Christianity.

"Is America a Christian Nation?"

Inasmuch as its majority religion is Christianity, yes.

Legally and Constitutionally, no.

"The goal of the U.S. Constitution is to recognize God-given rights, not to advance the goals of Christianity."

Good summation.

You are a leftist, right? Only a leftist could have "interpreted" the constitution so poorly.

"recognizing God-given rights" perfectly reflects the values of the "goals of Christianity."

I would think you would know that.

The real answer to the question is, "no, America is not a Christian nation. It is a nation founded by Christians built on the beliefs of Christianity that allow for and embrace, with love, all people of the Earth, unlike any other faith."

The Constitution has one purpose; to quard absolute (self-evident) unchangeable truths.

Since relativists don't believe in absolute truth, they are the only ones that will be attempting to undermine our Constitution, and wanting to refer to it as a "living (changeable) document".
