, 15:40, March 8, 2012→Is America really a Christian nation?
Some Christians claim that because the majority of people in America are Christian, America is a Christian Nation. However this argument has many holes in it. For example, does that mean that because there are a majority of women in America, America is a female Nation?

The United States may have a Judeo-Christian heritage, but there are no Judeo-Christian principles (unless you choose to count slavery) in the Constitution. The government of the United States of America is distinctly secular in origin. The Mayflower Compact, while for religious ends, used what would become the Enlightenment principle of the Social Contract as a basis of government. [[Rdsmith]] 10:31 (EST), 8 March 2012
