The United States is a Christian Nation

"I'm not sure what to tell you. You must not have read any quotes that I put up via link. All these men explicitly said they were not Christians..."Below is one of those "anti-Christian" and "explicit" quotes from your links, and it is indicative of almost every quote (unverified quotes I might add - a point you raised earlier, which was that many quotes from the founding fathers were fake, but obviously you intended that whatever quotes disagree with your position must be fake)."We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition… In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.”~Founding Father George Washington, letter to the members of the New Church in Baltimore, January 27, 1793Clearly any one reading this quote would agree that there is nothing explicitly ant-Christiann in this quote. As was noted earlier, Deism is a purer form of Christianity as was practiced by the founding fathers - contrary to your erroneous assumptions, the founding fathers actually believed that science and reason further validated their Christian beliefs. This is epitomized by the Jefferson Bible (referenced above).Even your own evidence disagrees with you."...Deism is not Christianity what are you talking about? "Aside from the obvious Christian affirmations noted previously, I will provide a more obvious definition of "Deism"http://dictionary.reference.com...de-ism (noun) 1.belief in the existence of a God on the evidence of reason and nature only, with rejection of supernatural revelationSo, clearly these "deists" believed in God...but which God? Obviously not the Muslim God, not the Hindu God(s), and nor was this God some facsimile of a frog. This is obviously the Christian God, further supported by Washington using the term "Providence" over 270 times in his writings. Even his granddaughter tells of how he partook of Christian sacrament with his wife prior to the revolution.http://www.ushistory.org... It is also well documented that as Washington was a child he attended Christian services and received typical Christian teaching...so...his conception of God was founded on the Christian God. "If this doesn't make it clear to those voting that the U.S is not a Christian nation, what more do you need?"actual facts would be nice, or at least verifiable or reputable citations.Your position that myself or every reader of this debate should "Google" the answer is interesting but it does not merit a debatable position. Furthermore, the facts clearly reveal that the United States was founded as a "State" on Christian principles, refined through the early colonial experiences of an oppressive Anglican church, great awakening, and the revolution. All of these events did not corrode the founding fathers' Christian beliefs but merely refined them; and in accordance with deism it purified Christianity into a form that they hoped would shape and inform a great Nation....and that is exactly what happened....this Nation nurtured the seed of faith planted by our founding fathers as noted in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Christian principles that still guide our Nation today are strewn throughout these great documents as I humbly illustrated above.So, while we are tolerant and welcoming that tolerance and welcome is a Christian one and as noted above 78% of Americans today are Christian and that is what is truly "clear".
