If Americans had the option thru referendum the chance to vote whether becoming a Christian state or not with no specific sect/denomination; how would you vote?
Please keep in mind that it is Christianity, and think how other countries lifestyle is who have official state religion before making your judge.

Some nations, like Iran, became an Islamic state thru referendum. For them was to bring back morality, family rights and quality.
Currently nation with official state religion (Christianity): Alsace-Moselle, Argentina, Costa Rica, Liechenstein, Malta, Monaco, Vatican City, Greece, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, England, Scotland, and Tavalu. Nations with special recognition of Christianity: Andorra, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Portugal, and Spain.
Being a Dane, I feel I should point out that while Denmark has a state church, it is not a Christian Nation officially or unofficially. Apart from those employed by the state church, there is exactly one Dane obliged to have anything to with it at all: The Monarch.
The same has been argued about the Ten Commandments on display or the nativity seen. Our culture was founded on Christian principles whether people like it or not and that is our heritage.
That statement always puzzles me when the entire 10 commandments vs. 1st amendment is brought up. Seems obvious to me that there's no reconciling the 1st commandment with the 1st amendment. And I'd argue that the latter is more specific and more central to US culture.
No one can be forced to become a Christian. It is a heart change to follow Jesus Christ. I voted no. Yet the left does force their beliefs on the masses when they push same sex marriage on the masses.

No one is forcing you or anyone else to participate in a same-sex marriage.
There is not need to declare any religion as the "official religion". Most Americans identify with the Christian faith, and every State Constitution mentions God, and that means US is a Christian nation.

The nation having a lot of people who identify with Christianity (many who pretend) does not mean that we're doomed. The founding fathers knew that religion was poor guidance for a nation and purposefully built a government that can adapt.
This foward-step decision made made by our fathers to not be a Christian nation was a wise one. We know that states with the largest population of Christians yield low intelligence people, poverty, murders, theft, obesity and low quality health. The faster we move away from this the better.
