Okay, so the double negative makes it a lil difficult to understand what exactly it is that you're asking.
"Christians" in the United States celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independece, which was the official formation of the Untied States as a separate nation independent of England.
Considering that this country was formed by Caucasian slaveholding men, the holiday technically has no relevance for any1 who is not a middle/upperclass White male.
More importantly, all Christians are supposed to be no part of the world, citizens of God's Kingdom under the rulership of Jesus Christ. Independence Day therefore should mean nothing to them either.

First off, Christians do believe there is a God. Christians of all people have the right to celebrate Independence day.This nation was founded upon Judeo - Christian principles. Independence Day has everything to do with God. Anyone who says otherwise does not know true American history.Our Founding Fathers were overwhelmingly Christian. And unlike one said, it was not for freedom from religion but freedom of religion. That is why the overwhelming majority of our first settlers came here in the first place. it's so sad that so many today do not know the true history of this great nation, especially Christians.
John Adams proposed that when Americas future citizens celebrated The Declaration of Independence, they should have religious services to thank God for what He had brought about. President Adams said Independence Day should" be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival, commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward and forevermore."
May God bring to light the truth that has been so long buried by our historical revisionists.May America return to her Christian heritage again.
God bless America!!!

No clue what you're talking about. Independence Day is a national holiday. It is celebrated by Americans and holds no religious signifigance. Buddhists can celebrate it, Hindus can celebrate it, Muslems can celebrate it and Atheists can celebrate it. It's an American holiday. Just like Canada Day is a Canadian holiday, and Mexican Revolution Day is a Mexican holiday, and Boxing day is celebrated by the British. These are holidays from the nation, not a religion.

What does Christian colonists celebrating their independence of a tyrant have to do with Christians believing or not believing in God?! Your question makes no sense!

We left Britain because of the Church of England and we wanted to worship God as we saw fit. We refused to let Britain have authority over us and to tax us unfairly as we thought they were doing. Of course, there was more to it than this. Patrick Henry pulled no bones when he said, "Give me liberty or give me death." The expression "pulled no bones" means that a wishbone which was a chicken breast bone where one person could grab one bone and the other person the other bone and pull apart. The shortest bone got their wish. In other words what Henry said was not wishing he meant every word he said and he stood behind his word. The church people fought in the Revolutionary War against the Red Coats/Britain and we won our independence.
