I think so..but we excepted all
it's supposed to be but some people are either bad persons(AKA criminals) or they don't believe in God, it's a shame really it would be great if we were all christian.
I love my dodge too by the way. :)
Supposed to be? According to whom? The founders clearly defined that there would not be an official national church.
If you mean that at the time of its founding most citizens identified with one Christian sect or another, that would be true.
No and yes , there is not a church in state , it's separated , yes we have the largest amount of Christians but were not a "Christian country"
The U.S.A. is a nation that lets people worship however they want. The Pilgrims came here to get away from religious persecution.
As a Christian I'll gladly give them the respect they deserve for braving the wilderness and scratching out a living under harsh conditions in order to follow their beliefs. But let's not pretend they did it to end religious persecution. They were by almost all accounts even more vicious to dissenters then the persecutors they left behind in England.
We are not a Christian nation. We are a constitutional republic that is suppose to have no laws respecting religion.
Have you ever read the Treaty of Tripoli? Our founding fathers were clear and adamant about separating church and state. No.
There is nothing Christian about our Government. As far as the people who live here, they come from diverse backgrounds.
Well, Truthisobvios beat me to the Treaty of Tripoli thing (ehh, I've been practicing guitar a lot, that takes up a lot of time). Seperation of church and state is a wonderful thing. So is the right to believe whatever religion you want. My opinion is: I may not agree with your religion, but I would fight to the death for your right to believe what you want. It's a big thing and it's great for us. Religiously run countries don't work out very well (the middle east as of now is a perfect example). Our government is supposed to be as secular as possible.
No. Not in its philosophy, or in what it loves, or in what it does. Despite its Judeo-Christian roots and heritage, and the beliefs of some of its founders, the United States today is a nation that follows other gods, and lives a lifestyle that is not compatible with Christianity. Since its beginning, America has been deeply influenced by the Judeo-Christian tradition and by the teachings of the Bible. Some of our earliest settlers (such as the Pilgrims) came here for religious reasons, convinced that God was going to give them the opportunity to worship Him in freedom. Our legal system was largely built on the Bible's teaching about right and wrong, and our forefathers took seriously its statement that "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord" (Psalm 33:12). At the same time, not every citizen at the beginning of our nation was a committed Christian, nor are they today. In fact, some today even want to banish all mention of God from public life-something our nation's founders never intended.
Yes, but all are supposed to be tolerated. I say supposed to be for a reason. God bless.
A part of the treaty of tripoli...
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Musselmen; and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Honestly, we have the right to believe. My religion is love but I respect other religions. The only thing I don't tolerate is when you try to shove your religion down other people's throats.
No its not supposed to be, but it is anyway.
the supreme court of 1892 said we were a christian nation
