I stand by what I said. We have been since our beginning known as a Christian nation. Just because there are other religions practiced here does not change that fact. We have over 320 million people here today so Christians still way outnumber members of any other religion. Why does it bother you so for us to keep the identity that we have had since our beginning?
The US was literally founded on freedom of religion we are in no way shape or form a christian nation. Even our founders recognized that. Sadly religious fanatics attempt to revise history to suit there agenda.

Are you saying Christianity defines a culture? IF so then Mormons, Baptists and Catholics would look and treat each other the same. They don't.

It's only a part of it. Each of the religions you mention are variations of Christianity and they don't necessarily agree with each other on the differences.

Allowing freedom of religion does not negate the fact they we were founded on the Christian religion and therefore were and are identified that way so that's not revising history. You don't have to be a religious fanatic to acknowledge the truth.

I agree with this.... we can't go back and change that history nor that fact of base premise within the founding of this nation. What we can be thankful for is the fact that we are a Christian nation that is one who co exist with other religions... As Americans people cannot get around the premise of what of Christian values that were within the founding of this nation.
Therefore, there are Laws of the Land... that does not support or allow various elements of some religions that infringe upon the human rights of others, be it male or female.
There is no "honor killing" allowed in America Law, and there is No Multiple wives allowed in America law, there is no Sharia Law that can supersede American Law, or any other of such elements of various religions that can usurp American laws, and OUR LAWS were founded upon Christian Premise, therefore regardless of what religion ones aspires to, it must atone itself to exist within the frame work of American Laws.
Therefore... people need to know these things before they come here !!!! If they cannot atone their religion "Within the Laws of the Land"then America is not the destination that is conducive to what they want as to their religious habits and ideological aims.

Your problem is your grouping all of Christianity as the same culture. This thread is postulating that multi-culturalism is an issue. A major reason people came to this land was for religious freedom from other "Christian" religions. So apparently all these Christians do not get along. You cannot rewrite history.

We weren't founded on the Christian religion. We were founded on humanist ideals that characterized the 18th century. We are a Christian nation only in the sense that the majority religion in our country is Christian.

Consider what is "The Rule of Law"... it is a mix of humanist ideals and elements of Christian premise of values.
which is as well within the universal elements of values.... of which is within the framework of regards as the basis of the 10 Commandments and the Golden Rule ideal.

Our nation was also founded on muskets, powder horns and wool coats.
