Is the U.S.A. a Christian Nation?

[bacon]

Was the United States founded on the basic principles of Christianity and the firm belief in a single God that rules over with mercy and grace? Was it not?

Some argue that 'Under God' was added by, Eisenhower, I believe.

In God We Trust

The Separation of Church and State.

Now, think about this.

Why have schools declined in the years since the sixties?

Not simply because there aren't educated teachers, but the lack of discipline is destroying America's schools.

And I think it's because of the Separation of Church and State.

Discuss.

I think Creation should be taught in schools.

I think we have a right to put whatever religious symbols we want in our businesses.

I think America should stop persecuting our ideas and beliefs.

I think we should be able to express our beliefs without the ACLU trying to stuff Evolution into our minds.

Move to Canada. With me.

It wouldn't be good to teach the whole Adam/Eve thing in schools. It would conflict with Science class and the whole "evolution" thing.

I think we are mostly a Christian Nation, except for the dumb people trying to get God out of schools. I saw a sticker and it said this:

"A letter from a concerned student." "Dear God, why do you allow so much violence in schools?"

God's Response: "I'm not allowed in schools."

I live in a country where we have a State Church (the protestants) and 4.5 million people. I can't say the Church does that much difference, except perhaps in creating another discussion topic. I personally don't care whether the lutherans still can have their state church or not, but it is heavily argued against and I know a lot of people who want religion separated from the politics and vice versa. Since I am a raised catholic (but left that christianity some time ago), I feel it is an unnecessary discussion. Mainly because there are 2% of the population who go to a protestant church actively and have a "personal relationship to God". I think people can think for themselves. A state church that's loosing it's believers? Well, alright, it's not really my business.
