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).
You cannot call the country christian because it's own actions across the world do not reflect christian values. The best you could do is say some people in this country are christian but the country is not.
Live every day as if already dead, that way you're not disappointed when you are.
