Is America a Christian Nation?

Much has been made of President Barrack Obama's recent statements in the nation of Turkey where he stated, "We do not condider ourselves a Christian nation," which in fairness went on to exclude almost every faith system or non-faith system as possible descriptions of the religious makeup of America. What do you think? Is America a Christian nation? Is it even appropriate to think of nations in terms of Christian or non-Christian?

True enough, there is a sense in which no nation is Christian. After all, nations are not Christian; people are. However, implicit in the statement is something that means to suggest far more than the presence or lack of consensus when it comes to Christianity. Much of the attention has been given to Obama's statements concerning what we are not in his eyes, but the focus might better be placed on who he actually said we are. Obama stated, "We are a nation of citizens bound by ideals and a set of values." Where do those values and ideals come from Mr. President. This has and will be the battle cry of political, social, and religious liberals. The President and those who share his views put forward the idea that all value systems are equal, in fact, most if not all, are superior to Judeo-Christian values. The President's statements picture America as a nation with a bent toward secularism. This has of course never been the case. However, if the President and others who share his views have their way we will be forced to aquaint ourselves with a new America, an America with no moral anchor, an America best known for its godlessness than for its motto, "In God we Trust."
