The phrase "Christian nation" goes against much of what the USA is all about.
Really?
So is that why several states had official state religions when the Declaration of Independence was signed?
Is that why the Founding Documents of US Legal Code all mention God and religion?
The FEDERAL government was banned from establishing a state church like most European nations had, such as England where the king was also the head of the Church of England. They wanted that ban so that the Federal government could not interfere with their own state religions.
That is why the federal government was kept secular, and nothing else for the most part as each state had a dominant if not formally state endorsed religion of some sort and ALL of them were various denominations of CHRISTIANITY.
Read the state constitutions. EVERY ONE OF THEM speaks from a Christian point of view.
