Then how is it we celebrate Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Easter, as a Nation, of "citizens" or just citizens?
Wouldn't there be a prerequisite of Judeo Christian values rooted in Christianity to give foundation of belief that would cause our most important documents to recognize a higher being. To quote verbatim scripture, form the Bible and put it in documents, in buildings and on statues? Why would a non Christian Nation do that?
Why would we have National holidays that close government offices, financial institutions and stop the mail? If not for the fact that "We are a Christian Nation"?.
Mr. Obama wants to create a new international identity and relationship for us moving forward that erodes our uniqueness in the world as a Christian Nation.

Please, this weekend, pray for our Nation and that God will provide us an opportunity to roll back this chump, his advisors and several members of Congress in 2010/2012.
To my Jewish friends, have a good Passover.
To my Christian Brothers and Sisters, celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and know that "All things work for the Glory of God".
Happy Easter to all Americans and "Citizens of the Body of Christ".
Stock markets are closed today because of Good Friday. Gee whiz those guys ought to be at work since we are not a Christian nation?
My oldest Son is having his First Communion tomorrow. Obama might not think that isn’t a big deal, but it is to us..
In the Protestant South, Good Friday was ignored. We celebrated Easter Monday.
Sadly, although we are a “Christian nation” founded on Christian principles, it is becoming more and more apparent that this is NOT a nation of Christians.
Our leader certainly IS NOT a Christian. I can certainly say this based upon the things is does and the things that come out of his mouth on a daily basis.
“Then how is it we celebrate Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Thanksgiving and Easter, as a Nation, of “citizens” or just citizens?”
Uh-oh... the cat’s out of the proverbial bag now. Barry will now see to it all those are duly replaced by their muslim counterparts.
Is Christmas cancelled this year? Does anybody know?
Well, we’re not a “Christian nation” actually. While we may be a nation that has some Christians in it, it’s not a “Christian nation”.
This nation can’t be a Christian nation and at the same time support, legally, the killing of 43 million babies in the last several decades. The two don’t go together.
But, it can be a nation where there is a minority of Christians who still live here.
AND, yes..., in the past, when the nation was founded, it could be called a Christian nation in terms of what the nation did “corporately speaking”. Not now, though....
I really didn't want to nor think it fair to trust innuendo and hearsay as to the fact of whether or not Obama is a Christian. But now I have my answer..... coming from the one's very own mouth. He said "WE" meaning he and all the others he lumps in with himself. This is his picture of America based on his and his friend's positions, that they are NOT Christians.
Why then should he look any further for a DC church? Not only is he NOT a Christian..... but he is hypocritical as well! And all those DC churches that are ready to make him a member should he grace their halls with his presence, well, I have a bit of doubt as to their Christianity as well.
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
The Poseur of the United States "Claims" we are not a Christian Nation.
That's President to you. And he's right on this. I'll tell him when I think he's wrong - but on this, he is 100% right.
We are slowly losing our identity as a Christian nation because of the all-out assault on Christian values that has come from the media, the courts and our centers of learning over the past 40 years.
While Christianity is still alive and well, it is increasingly difficult to show it in public. The left has done a very good job of making anyone who dares to profess their love of Jesus Christ feel embarrassed and ashamed.
It won’t be long before the only way you will be able to show your faith is within church walls or the privacy of your home. Outwardly, we will be no different than an athiestic Soviet Union or North Korea.
An amazing fall, considering that this nation was founded on Christian principles.
Obama is not the Antichrist.
He is however anti-Christ.

The Honorable John Jay; original Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and one of the three men most responsible for the Constitution said: “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers and it is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”
John Marshall, Supreme Court Justice, 1833; “The American population is entirely Christian and with us, Christianity and Religion are identified. It would be strange, indeed, if with such a people, our institutions did not presuppose Christianity, and did not often refer to it, and exhibit relations with it. Legislation on the subject is admitted to require great delicacy, because freedom of conscience and respect for our religion both claim our most serious regard.”
President George Washington; in his 1796 farewell address said: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vein would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds; reason and experience, both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”
President John Adams; “We have no government armed with power which is capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and a religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
President Thomas Jefferson; “Can the liberties of a nation be sure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people, that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?
Benjamin Franklin; “He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world.”
Noah Webster; “The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All miseries and evils which men suffer from, vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
Today is a Holiday in such Christian nations as India and Hong Kong. Easter Monday is a Holiday throughout Muslim Europe.
"Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer. In adoration and in thanksgiving, in contrition and in supplication, we have acknowledged both our dependence on Almighty God and the help He offers us as individuals and as a Nation. In every circumstance, whether peril or plenty, whether war or peace, whether gladness or mourning, we have searched for and sought God’s presence and His power, His blessings and His protection, His freedom and His peace, for ourselves, for our children, and for our beloved land."
"That was surely so at the very beginning of our Nation, in the earliest days of our quest for independence and liberty. It could only be thus, for a people who recognized God as the Author of freedom; who cherished the ancient but ever new words of Leviticus - ‘Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof ’ and who cast those words where they would ring out forever, on the Liberty Bell; who affirmed along with Thomas Jefferson that the God Who gave us life gave us liberty as well."
We have a lesson from the Founders of our land, those giants of soul and intellect whose courageous pledge of life and fortune and sacred honor, and whose ‘firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,’ have ever guided and inspired Americans and all who would fan freedom’s mighty flames and live in ‘freedom’s holy light.’- 1988 Ronald Reagan
James Otis (mentor of Samuel Adams and John Hancock) identified the source of many of the signers’ ideas when he declared: "The authority of Mr. Locke has been preferred to all others."
Signer of the Declaration Richard Henry Lee declared that: "The Declaration was copied from Locke’s Treatise on Government."
"The Declaration of Independence was founded upon one and the same theory of government expounded in the writings of John Locke." - John Quincy Adams
The signer of the Declaration Richard Henry Lee declared that the Declaration was “copied from Locke’s Treatise on Government.”
John Locke(1632-1704) was an English theologian and political philosopher, and Declaration signers such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Rush, and many others sang his praises.
Locke authored numerous works that influenced America (including the original constitution of Carolina, 1669), but his writing that most influenced the Founders’ philosophy in the Declaration of Independence was his Treatise of Government.
Locke’s Treatise (actually two separate treatises combined into one book) is less than 400 pages long; but in the first treatise, Locke invoked the Bible in 1,349 references; in his second treatise, he cited it 157 times. In the primary work influencing the Declaration of Independence, Locke referred to the Bible over 1,500 times to show the proper operation of civil government. http://www.wallbuilders.com/LIBissuesArticles.asp?id=160
