Does CNN realize we are a Christian nation?

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.
 
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.
