Those poor oppressed super-majority Christians.
The vast majority of American Christians would publically forsake belief in a nanosecond if they experienced the legitimate religious persecution that Christians in other pars of the world see every day. You have it better here than any Christian at any point in history, all things considered.

Without a doubt it was.
So much so that the founders themselves said it wasn't.
Wait...

Yes and no. The Founders didn't conceive of an areligious government. That's pretty obvious by Washington's actual Presidency. Painting them as secularists when the word "secular" didn't even exist is a bridge too far.

The vast majority of Sunday Church goers in huge Churches where showing up is part of the social status just to be seen, yes.
There is a reason the bible only says a small percentage will be 'supernaturally' protected. They see the TRUTH. The Be-headings, persecution, rise-and-fall of nations, has been predicted and predicated for thousands of years. The rise-and-fall of these nations has happened over and over, and over.
It will happen, again just as predicted, just as predicated.
Whether you believe in religion, faith, science or nothing. You can't logically deny that there is something consistently driving our simple lives, in an eternal universe that we have no freakin clue how it absolutely came into existence, that may have no beginning, or no end, is just some sort of happenstance. We don't know that much about the Earth, considering, and it's just a pup.
