re: Do you believe that the United States was founded as a Christian Nation?

A) out of context
B) As many have pointed out "US Government" doesn't = United States of America as a nation of states--and in Adams's day, a very loose confederation of sovereign states.

Of course not. We didn't set up a Theocracy or else every one would have been forced to be a Christian, and since even God doesn't FORCE ANYONE to be his SONS THROUGH REDEMPTION IN CHRIST, why would anyone want a Theocracy as was in place in England, a place they deserted.


Having said that, the government, in every measure, was founded under the precepts and freedoms of God, by Godly men, who didn't think it proper to force their views upon all, but who at the same time made ZERO LAWS keeping christian thought out of the government square or government policies.

The only restriction was in keeping the government from establishing an official state religion.
