I would agree that the majority of the people in this nation are not 'Christians', however, thus far the foundation that established this a Christian nation is still intact.
Rights endowed by the Creator man/government can not give or take. Remember the majority has never ever been on the 'RIGHT' side, and there is nothing new under the sun.
You are 100% correct.
We are NOT a Christian nation. We are a nation founded by predominantly Christian men, and we have swayed from Christian values.
The only Christin nation is the church.

Original sin covers that one - Christians are not perfect you know. Also, Christian tolerance and respect for other peoples have allowed us to be infiltrated by non-Christians.
the fact is most Americans where born within just a few miles or so of a church - so there!
Exactly.
Our nation was founded upon the Biblical Worldview.
Those who hate the biblical God have been trying to undermine our Constitution and the objective rule of law that undergirds it, ever since.
We used to be a Christian nation. We have fallen as a nation and now reside in a post-Christian era, with remnants and vestiges to that past in the protestant, evangelical movements. But this was never a Christian theocracy. It wasn't intended. It was born out of the caldrun of the dark ages, on the the reformation, then those emboldened sought to be able to worship God as they understood the scripture. The clarion call across Europe postLuther was sola scriptura...only the scripture. No one has the authority to override the written word. Out of this and after Gutenbergs revolutionary invention, the stage was set for moving into a virgin homeland and expanding westward. Most of the colonies were established to allow a certain type of denominational worship, but to not exclude those who did not. But all were Christian vintage. Not islamic,not hindu,not Budhist...Christian in their world view. Forming a nation and its laws from the foundation of that world view. And propelling that nation of laws of an essentially moral and religious people who held in their boosom that knowledge of moral absolutes. There have always been people who didn't believe in the divinity of Christ, but as a nation we held to his teachings until about 50 years ago. That is when we moved to a postChristian era. Francis Schaeffer wrote "A Christian Manifesto" 20 years ago and addressed this subject better than I ever could. Highly recommend it.
