As Christian as Israel is Jewish.
Why was Jefferson a faithful attendant at the Sunday church at the Capitol? He once explained to a friend while they were walking to church together:
"No nation has ever existed or been governed without religion. Nor can be. The Christian religion is the best religion that has been given to man and I, as Chief Magistrate of this nation, am bound to give it the sanction of my example."
President Jefferson even closed presidential documents with “In the year of our Lord Christ”

Greetings, WCH. :2wave:
I have little to say except this: You do not speak for most Christians, Mr. President, and everything the well-organized groups of anti-Christians can do to harass and belittle them does not make it so. It unites them in ways you will never understand, whether they attend a church regularly or not! They are the group you sneeringly referred to as "working class people who cling to guns and religion." Your own words made it clear that you acknowledge that "Christians" are not a fringe group you can easily wish away and dismiss! Christians are not beheading and burning people alive and committing other atrocities in the name of their God, as the terrorists in the ME are doing in the name of theirs! They contribute to charities to help the disadvantaged, they expect our flag to be honored, and they respect our Constitution and Bill of Rights, as set forth by this nation's founders!
Christian militias take bloody revenge on Muslims in Central African Republic | World news | The Guardian
Muslims came here to trade in the early 19th century and made up 15% of the CAR's population a year ago, but since then untold thousands have been killed or displaced or have fled to neighbouring countries. The UN said last week that while 130,000 to 145,000 Muslims normally lived in the capital, Bangui, the population had been reduced to around 10,000 in December and now stood at just 900.
Amnesty International has called it "ethnic cleansing" and warned of a "Muslim exodus of historic proportions".
Heya JF. :2wave: What did Martin Luther King have to say?
Is the US a Christian country

Don't know - Just came up before in discussions on other boards. Reason I went to the horses mouth as they say and see what people from the US think.I do not know what to answer, really. The country is not a religious country in the sense that the government idis not allowed to be. Just the opposite. But it does have a very large and vocal group of religious congregations. Much stronger than in other oecd countries.
But there is also a large group of people who see themselves as atheists and are antagonistic of the religious. And recently even constitutional rights thus far protected are being revoked.
so what's the buzz?
You might try reading some sources other than your usual
Categorically not.
It is not a Theocratic state, therefore cannot be considered a "Christian Nation".
Those that push that particular mantra often have a nefarious reason behind it, you look at all of those on the fringe right that really, really push that, there's an Anti-Abortion, Anti-Gay tinge to alot of it that is primarily theocratically motivated and it's downright disturbing.

Though I am sure many secretly want to be Canadian.
It's a Christian majority country, it is not ruled by Christians. In fact, the Constitution basically says that it is not a Christian country.
How about dual citizenship? I could go for that.

Yes it is. But there are so many that wish is wasn't, and expend great efforts to eradicate any Christian influence of any significance.
Well we do not tax income earned by out of country citizens, something I strongly disagree with.
:beatdeadhorse
That's okay. I don't earn any income these days so I don't have to worry about that and I wouldn't be annoying you. For that reason anyway.
