Referencing the site above the only president that did not affiliate himself with some form of Christianity is Monroe.
That is why we are referred to as a Christian nation.
You should have stopped after giving evidence for religious affiliations of founding fathers. Their religious affiliation does not make your country a Christian nation. Concluding that it does makes you look like a fool.
Your objection is with the op as the op established this fact, I simply defended the truth of the faith of the men that kicked your grandfathers wooden teeth in.

Only by fucking ignorant dickheads like you, drippy.
Remember:
Quote:Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.
-- Thomas Jefferson,
Jefferson had you jesus freak assholes nailed.
Jefferson like I, seperate Christianity/Belief in God from the works of religion.
With the help of Richard Price, a Unitarian minister in London, and Joseph Priestly, an English scientist-clergyman who emigrated to America in 1794, Jefferson eventually arrived at some positive assertions of his private religion. His ideas are nowhere better expressed than in his compilations of extracts from the New Testament "The Philosophy of Jesus" (1804) and "The Life and Morals of Jesus" (1819-20?). The former stems from his concern with the problem of maintaining social harmony in a republican nation. The latter is a multilingual collection of verses that was a product of his private search for religious truth. Jefferson believed in the existence of a Supreme Being who was the creator and sustainer of the universe and the ultimate ground of being, but this was not the triune deity of orthodox Christianity. He also rejected the idea of the divinity of Christ, but as he writes to William Short on October 31, 1819, he was convinced that the fragmentary teachings of Jesus constituted the "outlines of a system of the most sublime morality which has ever fallen from the lips of man." In correspondence, he sometimes expressed confidence that the whole country would be Unitarian[3], but he recognized the novelty of his own religious beliefs. On June 25, 1819, he wrote to Ezra Stiles Ely, "I am of a sect by myself, as far as I know."
