Is the U.S. considered a christian nation?

Answer 1

I don't know sometimes you have to wonder

Answer 2

The U.S. is a secular nation that has mostly religious people. Most of the religious people are Christian. Some would like to make it officially Christian, i.e. a theocracy. However, this is a bad idea. To see an example of why, look at various countries in the Middle East.

Answer 3

No, it is not the founding Fathers did not want to have the same problem they had in Europe, so they founded a secular government.

Answer 4

Only by a very small minority of selfish Christian Americans. Most Christians, like the rest of us, are proud to live in a free nation that cherishes freedom of religion, where each person has the right to choose and practice his own faith or moral philosophy as his conscience dictates, so long as none is harmed.

Answer 5

No..It is a pluralist nation, that allows for free expression and no government mandated religion. You are free however to worship or not to worship.

Most of the founding fathers were Christians that came here to escape overbearing kings and were confident enough to allow others to have the same religious freedoms they were engineering without fear of anothers tyranny.

Answer 6

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

So, no, it's not. It might be a nation of mostly Christians, but it's not a Christian nation.

Answer 7

No, No, No


The English translated version of the Treaty is notable for Article 11, which reads:

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

Answer 8

It is 76.5% Christian. In this sense, it is Christian. Yet it is not a theocracy, as the Constitution makes clear. We have a separation of church and state. Thus Christianity nor any religion is written into law.

Answer 11

No. We are mostly Christian, but our Constitution is very clear that the state is not.
