LOL. As if being Christian has anything to do with being a "first world" nation. Ever heard of Latin America? Or sub-Saharan Africa? They are majority Christian, and many countries in those areas are considered third world, and in fact include some of of the most impoverished countries in the world. Conversely, ever heard of the UAE? Or Japan? Not Christian, highly developed.

America is a secular nation that has a Christian majority. Christians and non-Christians alike should respect the fact that there is the Establishment Clause, because it protects their right to believe in what they choose to believe.

The government favor Christians and Christianity in many ways around anyway.
I would say 80% is far too high an estimate. I would say the real number of actual believing Christians is closer to 65%.

Yes, certainly, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all go back to Abraham and all three have for hundreds of years been acknowledged as the "three great (or Abrahamic) religions

most aggressive nation on the planet.
highest prison population on earth.
what is scary is this is interpreted by the incarcerated as a discrimination issue, not a behavior issue or religious backsliding issue at all.
the seculars kicked God out of their lives and are making sure the Bible or the word of God does not appear anywhere. 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 are not acting very Christian.

How does America's warmongering protect my freedom?

In fact, one of the earlier definitions of Pagan, or maybe infidel I forget, was "anybody who isn't a Jew, Christian, or Muslim" In the Koran the phrase "people of the Book" refers to all three

The founders were all MALE , too, so you "christian" folks are also claiming this country is for males only....that's very chrsitian but very disgusting also....




They all wore wigs, too, ....so....???





Hey, just following your "christian " excuse for logic....



Oh, BTW, many had slaves, many screwed their slaves, so as good "christians" I'm sure you approve and want slavery brought back, right?
Sorry, I forgot to ask all you white male wig wearing slave raping christians why you made such a mess of this country???

I voted secular but I don't care at the end of the day if we call it Christian.

Actually we're a New World nation, as opposed to the Old World
