Who can deny that we are a Christian nation?

This nation's culture is based on the values set forth by the Christian faith, and I haven't seen too many people deny that fact; I've seen them rebel against it, though.

They were all Christians yet did not want non Christians to be persecuted for their beliefs.  Congress is still "opened" with a  prayer, as has been done for >200yrs.

Exactly!  They claim the U.S. is a *Christian* nation, yet anything ever done in any *Christian* nation was not done by a *real* Christian.  Those of us who live in a *Christian* nation are products of that culture.  The Nazis were products of a Christian culture.  Slavery was a product of Christian culture.  The Inquisition was a product of Christian culture.  They weren't *real* Christians -- only the products created by them!\n.

Christianity is a powerful religion because it has so many members.  It is hard to speak out against Christianity not just here, but in all areas of life.\n\nMany Christians believe that this is a Christian country, not a country with religious freedom.  I hope that one day we will be able to have true religious freedom, but until that day we must accept that Christianity rules America.  But acceptance does not mean that we can not work for change!

I agree with you. Our country was built on the principles of God. I grew up Catholic, but I don't necessairly believe it. But I celebrate Christmas, St. Patricks Day, St. Josephs Day, I say the Pledge of Alligance. Everyone thinks they're right. It's a part of our history, and people are erasing history because 'it's not what they believe' But we are a melting pot of culture, so there's the other side of the argument, all holidays and religions should be celebrated not just catholicism or christianity that our country was based on 300 years ago

Christians are people that believe in and worship God the Father and his son Jesus Christ. \n\nI look at this way, if you want to call yourself a Christian go right ahead my friend, that is your right. Call yourself whatever it is you want to call yourself. :)

What is a true Christian?

What percentage of the US population calls themselves Christian?  It's pretty high.\n\nI would think it prudent to not go here.  When you speak of limiting the rights of others, it is difficult to make them believe yours are worth protecting.

Because not everyone in this country is a Christian. And last I checked, we still had the First Amendment.

As far as not believing some doctrine of God?  Yes, you can still be Christian.

Why does the God you describe have the same "with us or against us" attitude that Bush does? It's this simple. You can practice any given religion, without interference. That is your right. However, your rights stop where the rights of others begin. As everyone else has the same right, to practice any or no religion, you have no right to force your religion on them. God was inserted into our culture at a time when 99% of the people in it were christian. That is simply no longer the case, and equal rights must be upheld. By "erasing" God from our culture, we are not denying his existence, we are simply not affirming it. THAT is the middle ground. We're not saying that we know God doesn't exist, we're saying that we don't know that he does. As a nation. That is, some of us believe, and some of us don't, and some of us aren't sure. You have every right to believe in God, and worship him in any way you choose, within reason. But you do not have the right to demand that our government and our culture support your views over anyone else's. This is equality. The only way you could perceive it as an attack on your beliefs is if you want those beliefs forced on others, or the nation as a whole.

Christians support  a war?! Well, you won't stop surprising me. Isn't it against your religion?
