No
It is a nation populated by a large majority of Christians.
Christianity plays no formal part of the government so it is not a Christian nation.
an example of a Christian nation is England where the Queen is the head of the Government and the head of the church.

I would say yes and no because some people of America are Christians (like me) and some are not.

It has a lot of Christians, but it was NOT founded on "Christian principles." If it were, the money would say "In Jesus Christ We Trust."
The Founding Fathers were Deists, not Christians. The First Amendment freedom of religion guarantee means ALL religions, not just the Christians.

Well your question is not complete enough to answer with a yes or no.
Are Americans Predominantly Christian? Yes.
Is the country itself considered Christian? No.

If you look at the make-up of individual citizens, then the majority is some denomination of Christian. But as a nation, no.

Secular nation based on Christian principles and about 99% Christian settlers.
Not really a "Christian" nation, since we don't have a theocracy and don't defend Christianity as a national religion.

Yes, it is.
82% of Americans belong to a Christian denomination.
