Can you name a non-Christian nation doing as well?

I can't really say I understand the assertions implied by the question.
The fact that the U.S. is still fighting "two wars" (two?) signifies a failure of diplomacy and strategy in Iraq. Moreover, who said that the U.S. is a "Christian nation"?
The U.S. economy is still by far the largest, but it is not the fastest growing. And there is plenty of evidence to doubt its continued dominance with increasing investment in foreign markets, the loss of industry, a floundering housing market, etc.
The entire American economy is practically pegged to the health-care sector, and service jobs in general. Income disparity is growing, and household incomes have not kept pace with inflation.
I could go on.

I'm sorry, I don't think the country is in the best of condition right now.. compared to some others we are well off, but in the whole view of things we aren't really. As a Christian, I don't like the U.S. being called a Christian nation because it isn't and the downfalls are not the fault of Christianity.

Did you ever hear of separation of church and state? We're not a Christian Nation.
Aside from that...
There are plenty of other civiilised countries whose economies, health care and job situations are better than ours, as measured by tangible things like infnant mortality rates and literacy. They include New Zealand, Cuba, Sweden, Norway, and many others. None of these are fighting unjustified wars but I'm not sure what that has to do with it.

Dude, you call fighting two wars doing well?! What the F is wrong with you. People are dying - Americans (given that you probably don't give a crap about anyone else) are dying. War sucks. Sorry our Christian nation can't be doing as well as we could be doing if we were fighting three wars or four. You know Jesus loved his wars. Live by the sword - die by the sword, ok?

Kuwait!
The only reason you have a good economy is it is propped up by 3 TRILLION deficit dollars spent by Bush, and the real reason, a 1/2 TRILLION dollar deficit not in the budget that funnels money to corporations that steal from it. 500 new millionaires from Iraq blood money! How does one justify that in the middle of a war?
What are you going to do when the war ends and the money stops, blame a Democrat? Typical Republican!

What about China or India? Both of them have had much better GDP growth over the last ten years.
