Why do the religious right keep saying America is a Christian nation ?
,In the sense they want America to be officially Christian. Doesn't the 1st amendment make it clear "Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of a religion nor prohibit the Free Exercise thereof." Our Founding Father's were Deists not Theists and they made it clear that Christianity is not mentioned in the Constitution. And the people who say America is a white Christian nation are the ones who are most afraid of the Muslims taking over, praying in public schools, teaching Islam and supporting Sharia Law. Atheists and Agnostics feel the same way about you saying America is a Christian nation the same as you feel about Islam and Sharia Law in America. Not that we are a Muslim country either of course.

They hate the Constitution and want to establish a theocracy with themselves in charge. They're totally anti-American. Anyone who thinks the Constitution was based on scripture has never read it.
Read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The way they dated the Dec of Ind is by using the Christian calendar. They could have used any number of other calendars but they used that one. If that is not enough, look how they closed and signed the Constitution. "in the year of our lord, one thousand, seven hundred and eighty three." Just what LORD do you think they were talking about? Clearly a reference to Jesus. Plus in early days and even up to the 1930s Jews were banned from many elected offices and even from country clubs and some housing areas. An Obvious push to one view of God. Lastly, Why is Dec 25th a federal holiday? It sure Ain't a special day for ANYONE other than the Christians.
If they keep saying something, they'll eventually believe it - Hitler proved that to be true, so did trump of course it only works on weak minds. LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well,you're wrong. The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were based on scripture and basic human dignity espoused by their Creator. The U.S. is no longer "Christian" but secular,running off to God's fiery judgment in a hand basket.
Anyway, people say all sorts of things. Christians are obviously going to vote for legislators and legislation that they believe support Christian values. They have that democratic right the same as an atheist has voting for godless and anti-biblical people and policies.
