There's a difference in a nation largely consisting of Christians then a Christian nation.You basically then become an extremist nation. Is that what we want?

No it is not. It is a nation where people predominantly claim Christianity as their personal religious belief. The term Christian can be used to identify followers of many different religions. Many of these religions are in conflict with each other on the basic tenets of the faith. Also many people claim to be Christian yet do not adhere to any particular religious sect.

No. Just look to the UK. They're blaming all those nasty poor foreigners for stinking things up but if they had any true Christian values they wouldn't be saying such things because racism was never part of any real religion and Jesus was a great guy who saw past the skin.

No, that is why american has never declared an official religion. We are a melting pot, of yes mainly christians, but many other religions such as Muslim, Hindu, Buddhism, etc and even athiests. And that is another reason why we should always enforce the seperation of church and state, because everyone has different beliefs.

Not officially no. But in reality if the vast majority are Christian than maybe by default depending on your specific definition.

B Franklin built a town hall and purposely invited a muslim cleric in to speak as a show of how ecumenical the founders intentions were!!

Yes.
The Founding Fathers said this was a "Christian Nation".
Perhaps that's why Liberals and many of us Democrats hate our Founding Fathers and want to do away with the Constitution.
Perhaps that's why so many of us Democrats are supporting Obama.
Many want this to become a "Muslim Nation".
Well, they can forget it, because Hillary is going to Stomp the Little Muslim.

I'm not a christian and I am an American. I live in a Democracy, not a theocracy.

Well Duh, of course we are. Look at all the times Christ was mentioned in all of the papers from our founding fathers...
That "in God we trust" has always been on our money, its not like that is something new like from the 50's.
Oh wait. Never mind.
