Nah. It's only a Christian nation in the sense that most Americans are Christians. Christianity is not the state religion, many of the founders were deists, and religious freedom has always been a principle of this country.

@SW-User Nope to hold an office in a state and partake in the constitutional convention 1776 you had to take an oath that you believed in Jesus Christ. Please listen to the video.

@Carazaa That doesn’t prove anything. If this country were intended to be a theocracy, freedom of religion would not be in the Constitution.

@Carazaa
The oath was not to believe in Jesus, it was the promise to the office. Again at the time swearing on the bible was tradition. In court rooms now, it’s not mandatory, if you’re a different faith or Atheist. Stop trying to make it about Jesus. The Oath is vow to the true, not necessarily to god.

@Carazaa also, the religious paths were state mandates, not federal. At the federal level, religious paths have never been required. The US Supreme Court determined state religious paths violated the First Amendment
