Hi, just signed up, but wanted to chime in. I think that calling the US a "Christian" nation is a misnomer. Many people think that just because you live in the US, that makes you a Christian. Not any more than living in a garage makes you a car! To be a Christian, you have to accept Christ. No more, no less. So, if the majority of the people in the US haven't accepted Christ as Savior, then NO the US is not a Christian nation. It may have been founded on Christian principles, but that is not the same thing.
