No this is a wholly secular nation with many Christians in it.

A nation whose third president, a deist, gave Christian missionaries money right out of the treasury.

Given the statements of the Founders and Framers, arguing that this is a secular nation is like arguing that we're not an English-speaking nation because the Constitution doesn't officially establish English.

I agree, I’m not christian, I am an american.

If we allow religious iconography on public lands, then it has to be open to all. Freedom of speech is tough, but we are a free country. Either let everyone put something up, or no one put something up, we don’t have a state religion in America.
