Christian Nation
#63
RE: Christian Nation
We are a Christian country, in that the majority of our population are at least nominally Christians. That is a different matter than being a Christian nation, that is, officially Christian. There are plenty of examples of such nations in Europe, and the officialness of their Christianity is quite explicit. NOT clearly staking out the USA as a Christian nation was striking and not at all accidental.

As for 'Year of Our Lord', that makes the Constitution an establishment of the USA as a Christian nation as much as it makes the USA a Roman nation because it says the exact date was the 17th of September, September being from the Roman calendar (and means seventh month, which must have caused some confusion when it was later moved to be the 9th month).
