We have the first amendment, and yet, we still allow religion to influence laws here in the states. Why is this? Also, it just never ceases to amaze me at how there's many Christians here in the USA who believe that America is a Christian nation. 

IT'S ANGERING JUST TO THINK ABOUT!!!! Angry

Read Brian's response explaining the scope of the First Amendment. They are free to try and influence the laws all they want. However, a law cannot be established for a specific religious reason because that would be tantamount to a state religion.

If you want to look at the real threat to the First Amendment, you best focus your attention on recent events on college campuses and social justice warriors.
