And why drag “Christian” into it?


Christian County is an actual county in West KY next to TN. Ft. Campbell is located in it. I imagine it was named for someone rather than as a religious statement.

The county is named for Colonel William Christian, a native of Augusta County, Virginia, and a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He settled near Louisville, Kentucky in 1785, and was killed by Native Americans in southern Indiana in 1786.
