Why do so many Americans complain about wanting people to consider America a Christian nation?

I'm so sick of hearing people complain about America having to be a Christian nation. It's clearly not. Some of these people, mainly ultra-conservatives, are so bent on making sure everybody considers America a Christian nation. It's clearly not. Christians take care of those less fortunate and give everyone equal dignity. The U.S. has clearly become a "money nation" where money is the most important thing. These same people who are whining and b-i-t-c-h-i-n-g about America being considered a Christian nation are also usually the same people doing all they can to get all services and assistance cut for the poor, and taxes cut for the wealthy so the wealthy can save a few bucks. Not to mention doing all they can to destroy the middle class to help the wealthy become richer. Christians take care of the poor and don't just shove them aside like disposable human garbage in order to make a few quick bucks. I'm all for people working for themselves and providing for themselves. "God helps those who help themselves" as the say goes. Some people simply can't, they are physically or mentally disabled or due to some other circumstance that is out of their control, they may not be able to provide for themselves, or need assistance in getting to a point where they can.

It seems some of these same people who are hell-bent on America being considered a Christian nation are also bent on making the poor look sinful or "unrighteous" because they are poor. Not all poor people are in their position due to their own fault, just like not all rich people are rich due to their own decisions. Here in Utah, the dominant Mormon church has unwritten "wealth=righteousness, poor=unrighteousness" philosophy that is just awful. Many other Americans are like that too. The Mormons would never admit to that, but you can tell that's how they think by the way they act and live.

I just think unless more people want to start acting like real Christians and showing truly Christian values, they should stop complaining about America being considered a Christian nation, because it is clearly NOT!
