That's 2/3rds of the population.
What part is the lie again?
{1} America was allegedly populated by perhaps a majority of White Christian Protestants in 1787 when the secular and religiously pluralistic CONSTITUTION was being written.
{2} Only self identified white Christian Evangelical Protestants today are telling the lie that America was founded as a Christian Nation because the population back then was supposedly mostly white and Protestant which is not a verifiable or settled claim.
{3} The 2/3 Christian majority you cite includes non-right wing Catholics, Black and other minority Christians, and white Christians that vote Democrat and liberal. very few of which are telling me that America must be identified as a Christian Nation.
A true statement would be that America was founded as a pluralistic nation and is a nation for all religions including a diverse Christian majority.
what’s wrong with the truth?
why shorten to a generalization that marginalizes all non-Christian beliefs to satisfy 17% who self identify as evangelical Christian and who are white?
I know a ton of Catholics that are very conservative.
Second, I know lots of minorities that are very Christian, and very conservative.
Quite frankly, someone who is a Christian, matters more to me, than if they are white, or non-white. Honestly, I can't think of a single time ever, when I cared if they were white or non-white.
Third, I would be very interested in what evidence you have that this country was not created by white Christians.
Do you have any evidence to support that at all?
why shorten to a generalization that marginalizes all non-Christian beliefs to satisfy 17% who self identify as evangelical Christian and who are white?
Well we already just pointed out, from your own link that you provided, that Christians make up more than 2/3rds of the population.
That makes you right now, a liar.
Second, I don't buy the concept that speaking the truth, means that other people are marginalized.
For example, let's assume for the moment that point (1) that you posted is true.
Let us pretend for a moment that America was in fact populated by perhaps a majority of White Christian Protestants in 1787 when the secular and religiously pluralistic CONSTITUTION was being written.
How does that marginalize anyone? It doesn't. You don't see Jews, or Asians, living a marginalized life, because the constitution was written largely by White Christiana.
