America is a Christian nation.

This is not establishment like the demented liberals and the "separation of church and state" people flamingly confuse. It is a statement of the values, virtue, morals, and culture of the foundation of our country.

I could have sworn I saw a quote from George Washington that America is a Christian nation. Possibly another founder. Does anyone have anything on this?

Similar quote form George Washington below:

George Washington 1789 - fragments of the Draft First Inaugural Address The blessed Religion revealed in the word of God will remain an eternal and awful monument to prove that the best Institution may be abused by human depravity; and that they may even, in some instances be made subservient to the vilest purposes. Should, hereafter, those incited by the lust of power and prompted by the Supineness or venality of their Constituents, overleap the known barriers of this Constitution and violate the unalienable rights of humanity: it will only serve to shew, that no compact among men (however provident in its construction and sacred in its ratification) can be pronounced everlasting an inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchm[en]t can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other.
