Which is it? Christians, need to keep it to themselves, or we need a theocracy?
Multiple-personality disorder.

It's the only reasonable explanation.

This is very unfair and Anti-Christian. It seems like the UN favors one religious ethnic group over another.

USA has 80% Christians while Israel is 75% Jewish!
So I assume the USA is unofficially a Christian nation then?
If the US is 80% christians, why do some always act like they are being persecuted and discriminated against? If anything, they are often the ones trying to marginalize others not like them and force others to believe as they do. Give it up, the USA is a country that has values based on the policy of freedom for all of its citizens, not just christians, that is why we have separation of church and state and a secular government.

Because the minority (Jews and atheists) oppress the majority....

No jews = no "happy" holidays as an example
Atheist sue Christians for putting religious symbol or religion in public

Not to mention the large number of Islamic nations. The Jews have one and only one Jewish nation. Christians have 0, atheists and Muslims have many.

Well no christian countries except Alsace-Moselle, Argentina, Costa Rica, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, Vatican City (theocracy) which are all have Catholicism as their national religion. Andorra, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, and Spain which give special consideration in their constitutions for Catholicism. Greece: Church of Greece, Georgia: Georgian Orthodox Church
Mount Athos Which are Eastern Orthodox nations. Denmark,Iceland and Norway which are Lutheran. England which is Anglican.

Other than those there are no official Christian countries.

The reason is that the men who wrote the Constitution chose to separate church and state, and most Americans of all religious categories are happy with it.

For the question of why they do what they do in Israel, you should ask an Israeli.
