In how our country see's itself? Do you think the Vitrol of being PC is making way for all other religions to become just as important to the USA as Judeo/Christianity has been from the start?

No, because, the United States of America is founded on Judeo/Christian values and principles, we are one nation under God.

Good question, Marie.
There are an awful lot of people who believe that America was founded on Judeo-Christian ideals.
It is suprisingly easy to diprove this:
Anyone who would be willing to explore a little can easily find the philosophical roots of the U.S., the constitution, and the Declaration of Independence.
Just do a search on:
"The secular roots of the U.S."
"U.S. is not a Christian nation"
"founding fathers secular"

first the term is ridiculous. Judaism and Christianity are theologically and philosophically very different religions.
You might as well be saying Judeo/Islamic or Islamic/Christian.
so yes the term should be omitted if only because of its own stupidity

We are a Nation, period. It's only the Christians who see our nation as a "Judeo/Christian Nation" so it's irrelevant to the rest of us. It's only the selfish nature of Christians that make that label accurate.
We can hardly invite everyone on earth here with open arms and then limit the world-view of our country to "Judeo/Christian." That's just so selfish and centric... and that's how Christians are, imho.
And we are only "one nation, under God" because we are so afraid of other cultures. We are one nation, period. Can we just be patriotic without involving a deity?

Don't we stone our children?! Don't we own slaves?! Aren't we allowed to have 700 wives?! We do. We do. And we are. So we are Judeo/Christian Nation.

Yes. This country was founded upon greco-roman principles of democracy and hedonism, not upon values relating to God.
Many (if not the majority) of the founding 'fathers' of america were not christian or jewish, but rather deists, who did not believe in revelation.

This is not a Judo/Christian nation. It never was. All religions should be equal. That is the point.
