In truth the term "Christian Nation" is a subjective term. Meaning their is no one set meaning to it. therefore it can mean anything. That means people who argue this point can change the meaning of the word to prove whatever point they like.
Your either Ignorant or Beyond desperate if you are trying to argue semantics. Read the OP Again the whole arguement presented was based on the religious beliefs of the forefather of this country. The statement was made and remade that they were anti christian and anti religious all together. Everything I have said, quoted and done was based on these statements.
Pointing out that the founding document of the nation is secular through and through is hardly pecking and scratching around the topic. It cuts to the point concerning the question of whether the U.S. is a Christian nation in any non-trivial way.
By the way, I'm not here to carry the OP's water and have no particular concern with the founders' private religious views. If such views are your only point in this discussion, then I'll bow out because I really don't give a damn. I leave hero worship and arguments from authority to the religious and constitutional fundamentalists of the world.
