I have written several questions and received answers. Using these answers and the questions themselves I would propose this as a theory.
The United States is a country where there are worshippers of many and varied Gods and many who do not except any Gods. This is well and true to the First Amendment of the Constitution of this nation. Any claim that this United States is a nation of any specific religion is in conflict with the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights. As long as there is a pantheon of Gods or lack thereof in which people have faith, this is a secular nation of religious freedom. If any Government Official or document claims one religion as paramount over all others that Government Official and the document are legally in contravention of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Just the variation of Answers in my former Question the above is proven true.

Do a bit of extrapolating. Our present President has already stated this is a Christian Country in his official personage.

Your premise is correct in Theory. The problem is, the country is run by elected officials elected by the general populous. The general populous is not interested in maintaining the rights of all people. It is interested in maintaining their own rights. If this were not true, we would not have questions of gay marriage, nativities on the courthouse lawn, faith based initiatives, slavery, oppression, discrimination, etc. etc. etc.

"If any Government Official or document claims one religion as paramount over all others that Government Official and the document are legally in contravention of the Constitution and its Bill of Rights."
I feel that a government official can say that a religion is paramount based on the freedom of speech. I feel that the document would be in legal contravention if it were to influence policy or law in any way.
The rest sounds about right.
I extrapolated before I answered.

I believe this country is in big trouble with God. This country use to be a christian country, not everyone was country but most were or at least be live in God and the bible. I believe that God has been and still is trying to speak to us. I believe that 911 was a wake up call. Look at all the things that have happened in the last few years. All the storms, hurricanes, wars, earthquakes these are just a few. I think that we need to put God back into this country, We need to get all the false religions out of this country. We need God back into the schools. We need to start praying more.

Not to worry. So long as the government does not interfere with your religious practice your rights have not been violated.
US Constitution
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof....

Well... that's pretty true... unfortunately, fundamental christians are attempting to make this country a theocracy. When the rest of the nation resists, they (the christians) claim persecution.
I think we'll be able to work through that.

Freedom of religion is Freedom From religion!
"religion is Spiritual fraud"; "religion is the Worse invention of humanity" - Jesus Christ, Buddha and any other being with Spiritual intelligence.
Without God, there is No Love; Without religion, there are No Wars!
Here's the Solution to eliminate religion:
Create a private, personal, direct, divine Relationship with Our Creator and save your Soul from religion.
Only with Our Creator's Love and Peace will we be Truly Free!
Love and Believe in Our Creator;
Love and Believe in Yourself.

your quote is basically true .. it was expected and assumed that people would retain their morality over time and that is needed to remain a free country .. i personally believe that morality was based on christian belief but its besides the point ... the deal is the govt was supposed to be barred from interfereing in the peoples chosen religeon .. true.

Pretty much. Although you mean 'accept' and not 'except' in your first sentence, if you were thinking of publishing it.
