LOL no we are not a Christian nation, but we do have a lot of Christians.

Why is it that so many extreme right wingers want to turn us into the Christian Iran?

Please do us all a favour and move to the south, secede, and establish your own little Jesusland there. We won't miss you.

No, sorry. That is incorrect. Islam only goes back to the cave where mohammed invented his religion.

What country are you talking about? Please back up your allegation with factual examples...LOL! No, really, I know ya can't....





""Of course it is a nation going backward.. primitive with no refinement.

TV is the reflection of the United States. Greed, pleasure, materialism , sex and bad language. Even the ten commandments say to not take the Lords Name in Vain , It is now cool to post or say OMG or Oh My God today. That is taking the Lords name in vain. Secularism has trained the people to disrespect anything good today and make every thing bad as cool..

In the last days, it is written ... good is bad and bad is good. The people of this nation is not acting very Christian.
So why do you call it a "christian " nation....doesn't seem you'd be too proud of that....

Yes, that seems to be an accelerating and unfortunate trend. No one argues this is a perfect nation, but I think this is still a Christian nation. The "pursuit of happiness" to me is NOT a Christian principle, and neither is finding the "American dream" or the saying "follow your dreams". It seems like anything goes in order to chase or follow the "dream". That mindset leads to nothing but greed and money/material worship, and I guess we all know that is the other side of the American coin.

The reason Christianity is losing so many followers especially amongst the youth population isn't because of secularism. It's because of people like you who have turned Christianity into such a massive joke.

America is a Christian nation and will always be.

Those who voted 'No' on this poll do not represent the majority of Americans and don't know anything about the constitution.

The United States was founded on Christian principles. The Ten commandments were at the core . We based our laws on what we call righteousness . What is right for society.

We can be whatever we want in this nation. That is plain to see. A skunk , a murderer, a liar and a devout Christian. One can worship a mushroom.

Of course there are consequences on what a person believes and ones actions define what kind of person one is. The freedoms here are broad. One can be a low lifer or a responsible person. Secular Humanism is a belief.. It is self serving and really has no rules other than ones conscience which is no rules at all to some. Some people have no conscience. This country is in a fallen state and secular humanism is the religion that is pushed by society, media and liberals.
