Modern democracy is an invention of the Enlightenment period.How come no christian nations of the time before the founding of the US were democratic? How come they did not respect the freedom of religion?

First of all: Who said Christianity is good !
Second : Who said Democracy is good ,that therefore a "good" religion should have astablished it ?
Third : Christianity cannot rescpect the freedom of religion because its fundemental beliefs in Jesus are so extremley fragile & easy to defeat, Therefore Christianity did'nt want to allow its constituents access to information wich would incriminate itself so easily.
This is simple to all who understand theology & history.

Where do you people get all of this? Read your history book. This democracy was started by Christians! One of the main reasons was to ensure FREEDOM OF RELIGION! Not freedom FROM religion, but freedom OF religion. If you would read your history instead of parrotting what some fool tells you, you'd be a lot smarter.

Christians are against democracy (He rules). They don't believe in freedom of speech (no blasphemy), nor freedom of religion (no other gods allowed). So if Christianity were true, then the United States would be thrown in a lake of fire.

Democracy by definition is nothing short of mob rule. What the majority wants it would get.
US Government is a Representative Republic, very big difference.
Read the Federalist Papers and see if the made mention of God and Faith.

Because people in power will always be corrupt, and power corrupts. The ideas of religion and Christianity are good ideas, but the church, along with any other type of organization is made up of human beings which automatically make it flawed and corrupt.

God set up all the Laws we need to live a fair life and one of those laws is "whoever sacrifices to any god other than The Lord shall be destroyed" Exodus 22: 20 for anyone who doesn't believe that

Christianity did. Read Genesis. It's the best model of society we have.
