Father Guido, the founders were Christians, look it up.
Separation of church and state are nowhere in the founding documents. Look it up. That was "coined" by Jefferson in a letter and referred to in a Supreme Court ruling. Long after this nation was founded.
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.” George Washington.

Smelly feet, shouldn't we start treating the rest of the world like they treat us?
Like China declaring that no Bibles will be allowed during the Olympics? Like many Islamic's declaring "holy war" against us? etc.

When did the pilgrams come over from England? They were the forefathers of this nation coming here to found a nation under God. I would think that date would be most appropriate.

Well because Christ was born or tradition dictates we celebrate in December Those that would say not a christian nation are sadly misinformed. The only reason that there is separation of church and state is an obscure letter from T jefferson that was later revised to support left wing ideals. To say this is not a cristian country is to say Washington was a muslim. Washington was a devot christian a man of great character and abouve reproach in all aspects of his life. Thomas Jefferson a atheist stated bible best book of morals ever written. check it out

No. Christmas ostensibly is about the birth of Jesus, who allegedly was born Dec. 25. July 4 isn't even the birth of a nation, really, it's when the colonies declared independence. There was no country until the war was over in 1783 and the colonies were safe to assemble independently.

No, Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ the king, Although we are a Christian nation we have always had a seperte holiday and our nation was concieved under religious freedom not a "Christion Nation"

No! We celebrate the 'baby Jesus' being born here on earth. Christmas was the day that God took on the limitations of man and came to earth to be born and to walk among us. What a loving God!!! It is God who should get the celebration and the glory! He loves us so much.

What are you smoking? Separation of Church and State ring a bell? The Founding Fathers were very careful to ensure that NO religion would be held better than another in the new country they envisioned.

I'm sorry, there is no such thing as a christian nation. It must of been aborted.
Treaty of Tripoli!
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

It's not a christian nation...nice try...
Had our founding fathers wanted a christian nation...I'm sure they would have mentioned it in the US Constitution. Instead...they put in that little bit about no religious test shall be required to hold any federal or state political office....

If you want to be historically accurate, we should celebrate the birth of Christ some time in late September.
