You really do need to read Holy Trinity vs. United States of 1892.

You should really study the difference between "holding" and "dicta" - the part that you'd like everyone to read has absolutely no legal weight whatsoever, and no value at all as precedent.

Philip, Bedfellow has already pointed out to you that your cherished "Christian Nation" quote is mere dictum, and as such establishes no legal precedent. Do you understand these concepts? Are you willing to learn, instead of just repeating "read the quote!" over and over?
