It is. God is referenced all over our founding documents. Remember we were essentially the religious wackos who thought that England had become tyrannical. Yet we turned America into a hyper productive global superpower.

They were gnostics at best. Certainly not biblical Christian, really heretics for the time. Hence the separation of church and state.
Anyone who claims to be a Christian, yet supports Trump is no Christian. Such individuals are at best hypocrites who try to conceal a vile motive with the pretence of being a follower of Christ.
From Matthew 5 - 7 ESV:
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Evangelicals for Trump need to do some serious reading of the Bible, beginning with the Sermon on the Mount. The words of Jeff Sessions are hardly the words of Christ. Those who would treat Sessions as some sort of spiritual leader should consider the words of Jesus instead:
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet."
The United States is not a theocracy. The God you seek resides in your own heart, not in the government and not in the officials of the government.

No wonder so many people freaked out when The Handmaid's Tale was released. They thought it was a present day reality, whereas reality is that the book was written in 1985 and was released as a movie at the time.
The sad problem is that people could see how easily the USA could transform into a fundamentalist religious loon dictatorship where the president attacks allies and embraces murderers, where news is propaganda, and children are tossed into detention centers without trials. Imagine a world where that is reality for people in the USA!

It was written in the 1980s under the backdrop of the Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and their Moral Majority agenda. The 1980s, when Reagan completely ignored the AIDS crisis under pressure from the Moral Majority (because AIDS was God's judgment against homosexuality) was the last time the religious right had the kind of power they do today under Trump. I don't think we've ever been as close to all out theocracy as we are now.
