'''Christian Nation" is a notion among some Fundamentalists that the U.S. was founded as a "Christian Nation", but lost its way and should be restored. The notion has become a favorite attack theme by liberals and secularists, who warn that the right plans to impose Christianity on America.
The "Christian Nation" theme is not mainstream conservatism. President [[Ronald Reagan]] rejected the notion. For example he wrote [[Norman Lear]] in 1984 he was "not aware of any 'Christian Nation movement' and I certainly do not support the notion."<ref> Ronald Reagan, ''Reagan: A Life in Letters'', ed. by Kiron K. Skinner (2004) p. 642, Norman Lear was a Hollywood producer and an important organizer of secularism.<ref>
Mainstream conservatives usually speak in terms of Judeo-Christian ethics and values.
