America has always said it is a secular nation, separation of church and state with freedom of religion written into the constitution, although I do suspect that Christianity has worked its way into the machinations of the country somehow, what with in God we trust on the money and one nation under god in the pledge of allegiance.

You know that "In God we trust" and "One nation under God" where added during the 1950s during McCarthyism to weed out Communist. And did you know that the "Pledge of Allegiance was written by an agnostic socialist?

America is not a Christian nation. In the Declaration of Independence, there is 4 references to a higher deity, however no reference to "God Almighty", "The Lord", and other common Christian names for God. All of the references to a deity is so board that anyone living in the American colonies, can relate to other American colonist of other religions. Now that is for the Declaration of Independence, which is not the foundation of other government, just a long letter to the King of England stating that the 13 colonies agreed to leave the British Empire, citing reasons why and having 55 (that number might be wrong) endorsing the decision of behalf of the entire colonies. The Constitution, is the basis of the American government and has absolutely no references to a "God", "Lord", "Almighty", etc. In the Constitution, it states in the first amendment that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." here it states that the government shall not endorse a single religion. Therefore the United States of American is not a Christian nation.

Yes and fuck all other religions because they're wrong and superfluous.
