The United States: Secular or Religious?

I challenge anyone to find a place in our constitution where it states that the United States is a Christian nation. It is not patriotic to ask presidential candidates which Bible verse they prefer, to give public money to private religious schools, or to expect a public official to be a practicing Christian.

Who keeps flagging polls just because they disagree with a religious or political view? I wish these flaggers would show some courage and state the reasons that they are doing this.

one nation, under god.... (on our currency and in our pledge of allegiance)

you swear in on the bible...

The first three examples (yes I counted the first one as two) I could come up with that there is religion in the u.s. government. I'm too lazy to think really, those are just the obvious ones. Haven't studied us government at all yet, or even u.s. history really, so I don't know much.

It depends on what is meant by the term "Christian nation." Constitutionally, no, the US is not a Christian nation at all and wasn't meant to be.

However, demographically and culturally, the US is a strongly Christian nation, and Christianity has a lot of political power here. I doubt an openly non-Christian candidate could become president, at least not anytime soon.

Teiji666: Neither one of those examples refer to the U.S. constitution. In addition to that, the phrase "under god" was ADDED to the pledge in 1954 as a reaction to communism

Tralhob: You are absolutely right, but again, there is nothing in our constitution that says that we are a Christian nation.
