No, it is not.
From the treaty with Tripoli, ratified by congress on June 10, 1797:
"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..."

Not anymore. We have a generations of Biblically illiterate people who think they know what it means to be a Christian but have not even picked up a Bible in their lifetime to read what it actually says. What we have is a nation full of hypocrites; people who say they are Christian but only on Sunday.
The United States was founded as a Christian nation but most have forgotten that. We no longer teach Christian values in the classroom and the Ten Commandments are not permitted in our courtrooms. We have murdered some 34 million babies + and we approve of gay marriage and in some states; euthanasia.
What do you think? Are we Christian or are we liars?

No. I don't see anything Christian about the way things are happening there. There are some Christians in America, true. But that doesn't make it a Christian nation. A Christian nation, according to me, is a nation that walks by the principles of God's Word, at every level.

the United States is uniquely the most religious nation on the planet - and this is not any one religion forced on people like some nations - it's by personal choice. Look up the polls - but recently in the Los Angeles Times i believe it said (+/-) 92 percent of Americans believed in God. Of that, it was over 80 percent Christian -- this is just my recollection but it is researchable.
The country was founded by and large by Christians who were seeking to worship in their own way - not the way the state told them - which is prophetic.

the forefathers were christians, the constitutions are pre-ambled with recognizing God as the supreme ruler. But as a whole some people I guess are, those that want to do way with christianity I guess are not. So of course their is tumult among the people also. I would say the south is more christian than the north. But I suppose that is in any nation as Christ said he would gather his elect from all nations.

The Christian Church doesnt "own" marriage and has never claimed to. otherwise they could have red meat acknowleding jewish, muslim and marriages from different non secular traditions. yet make no mistake about it, marriage has always been a non secular institition. everywhere interior the international and always always. They were always presided over by skill of a relgious make certain, no matter if it replaced into the extreme Priest interior the Mayan kingdom (the Americas) or a the Akamba (Africa). always. What you're somewhat in basic terms attempting to say is that there replaced into once a non secular tradtion in all likelihood Roman that regarded a similar sex marriage. No difficulty with a guy marrying his ferret (or gerbil) in basic terms keep it a techniques faraway from my position of worship. it somewhat is all, thanks. FYI i presumed this replaced into yet another case of revisionism, so I appeared up your reference and the source is disputed. come across a taking part source from that era and submit it please.

No. There is not a creed of the US which states emphatically or otherwise that The LORD is the God of the US.
There may be illusions of a god or lip service to a higher being who created all men equal but no, no reference in American documents which make this nation a Christian nation. Thank GOD.

No, it is not a Christian nation, as there is a seperation of church and state which is caused directly by our Constitution (our goverments rules, basically). But, the largest religious faction in the United States is Christianity.

Sorry it is not.
Look to the teaching of Christ. Does he said that we should make wars, bully actions against others and American people.
There are no Christian nations on whole world, not one.
There might be true Christians but they are very, very rare. Maybe 1 in the million.
