Does CNN realize we are a Christian nation?

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

A treaty of peace and amity did indeed supersede the Treaty of Tripoli, and that phrase you "cited" is not even in the Arabic translation of the earlier treaty.It was not included in a later treaty of 1805, but there are problems with the translation. The new treaty did not talk of religion at all. So it stands that we were not a Christian nation because it did not address the subject.

You want to categorize as what we are not.

What is the most prominent religion in america?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Christianity is the most widely practiced religion in the United States, with approximately 65% of adults identifying as Christian. This includes various denominations such as Protestantism and Catholicism. However, religious diversity has been increasing, with Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism also having significant followings. Additionally, the number of Americans identifying as religiously unaffiliated, or "nones," has been growing, particularly among younger generations.

By our Constitution, then, we are a nation of Christians generally but not a Christian nation.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Was that not added in the 1950s

Yes and it has been reaffirmed over the years, with bi partisan support

It is called 'civil religion' and means nothing.

You think you are achieving something with your incessant cries of "But we are not a Christian nation", like it meant something. It doesn't. It does not matter how you want to define what "Christian nation" means. The important thing is that most Americans are Christian and also Christianity is quite possibly one of the many things that made your country what it is today, and I know your little brain cannot handle that.

I know your little brain cannot handle that.

Our first four presidents were not Christians. Four out of five, who lived and died through the Revolutionary War, and the ratification of our constitution were not Christians.

Not all Christians today vote for Republicans. In fact, most do not vote for Republicans. White Christian nationalism is a huge commercial enterprise and they are lock stock and barrel tied to the Republican Party.

White Republican Party Christian nationalist voters gave secular America the lawless Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson; second in line to the presidency who is probably a very fine person; a moral person on sexual and family matters. But as an American Congressman in the wee hours of the morning of January 7, 2021 Rep Mike Johnson of Louisiana voted to overturn the 2020 election and to give it to the lawless Republican president, Donald Trump instead of the certified winner.

Perhaps not a crime to have voted to overturn an election, but in my mind, he is unfit to serving in Congress because he violated his oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of United States. He had a duty to defend my vote. Mike Johnson failed to do his duty.

Now he is contributing to the creation of an authoritarian Christian oligarchy for the cyrrent lawless president of the United States.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

A friend of mine is a member of those in the bar who live in Shreveport.

He has said that Johnson is not moral, not, in fact, a real Christian, and is simply a MAGAt.

 

[whutTHEYsay]

We are NOT a "christian nation". We are a secular nation.

"We are endowed by our Creator..." Did you miss that at your reeducation camp?

According to a 2023 Gallup survey, about 67% of the U.S. population, or 224 million people, identify as Christian. This makes the United States the country with the largest Christian population in the world.

Secular is the same as atheist, and we are NOT an atheist nation.

That doesn't make the US a Christian nation.

The United States of America never was and never will be a Christian nation. Thomas Jefferson is a witness from the founding generation. Those that could vote gave him a second term, knowing his opposition to Christianity.

Not really cuckoo...

Within the domain of those who identify as 'religious'...

We are, for all intents and purposes, a 'secularized Christian nation'...

Founded and ruled by European Christians whose descendants continue to hold the majority vote in modern times...

Close enough for Gubmint Work...

 

[Mac1958]

Partisan politics pollutes and perverts everything it touches, including religion.

There is no shortage of examples of that, yet we refuse to learn it.

Now it's split Christianity into (1) sincere Christians and (2) MAGA Christians™.

Lenny is a parody account.

In this country of ours, being a Christian is a good thing. In this country of ours, being a nationalist is a good thing. CNN tries to paint this as if it's a bad thing.

---White Christian nationalists are poised to remake America in their image during Trump’s second term---

As long as the GOP tries to argue this, it will be a minority party.

The biggest problem of the GOP today is religion. Religion isn't conservative, and most people want it out of politics.


Every time someone claims the GOP or the US is "Christian," it gets people like Zohran elected...

STFU and read something other than the biBULL....

When do you believe the United States of America was “founded” ?.

I would appreciate if you would answer that question because the date of the founding matters.

It was between 1760 and 1800 if you didn’t know.

I am asking you that question because the only data and research that I found relevant to the question of what percentage of the population in 1776 were Christians (as in church going Christians “believers in the divinity of Christ, original sin, the Virgin birth, resurrection, and forgiveness of sins )

It is less than two out of ten who professed to believe in orthodox Christianity or the Divine origin of the Holy Bible.

The following chart is backed up as a trend because there are other historical records during the Civil War that shown only about a third of the soldiers on both sides were Christians.

See the data

Ahhhhhh, yes.. the old Christian = Active Church-Goer canard... it's been a while... love it...

Christian = a person born-and-raised in a family with Christian history and traditions, who believes in the Judeo-Christian manifestion of the godhead, and who is in agreement with basic Judeo-Christian morality and canonical law guidelines...

Vast numbers of people do not regularly go to church or associate with branch A or B yet still identify as Christians...

In that context, the United States was founded-by and sustained-by and continues to be ruled by a "Christian" majority...

And, because we insist upon a Separation of Church and State... it is accurate to refer to us as a Secularized Christian Nation...

Sorry...
