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

um.... no. The Bible recognizes the absolute sovereignity of God above all (which the Constitution does as well). God puts forth principles and concepts (laws) in the Bible that both support this and provide the highest quality of life for his errant creation. Love God, love others, turn away from sin or you will be judged, punished, and suffer consequences which your rebellion enacts. Recognize that true liberty comes from a submission to God's authority. The founding fathers are well-documented for understanding these concepts and writing laws to mimic these Biblical laws in a form to govern a multitude of people, including those who choose to reject Biblical principles, but are willing to abide by a man-written law. In other words, they prepared our law to deal with the ungodly jackals, hippies, bleeding-heart libs, and malfeasants they knew would inevitably try to cause rebellion, unrest and upheaval.
