Christian Nation?

[Chas]

Correct, but before that it was originally founded as a British state and hence a Christian state.

So what?

If that's the criteria you're going by, then America is also a Male Nation, a White Nation, a Dead Person Nation, and a Pants Wearing Nation, among many other things. I doubt you'd ever agree out loud to the first two, and the last two should demonstrate how devoid of meaning your definition of a "Christian Nation" actually is.

But then, what you mean isn't what the people arguing for a christian nation generally mean when they do so in a political context, is it? You're either trying to win cheap rhetorical points by contracting the definition into something manageable so you can get one over on the atheists and accuse them of hating god (yawn ) or you're equivocating.

Which is it?

again it/my response is answering the op's claim that the forefathers of this nation were atheist. Therefore this country was not founded as a Christian Nation. My response is to support the truth that the forefathers were indeed Christian by proclaimation, and by work and deed.

Some were deists, some were atheists. Not all were Christian.
