The problem though is that Christian's want America to be a Christian Nation in order to influence the Government to enact laws that coincide with Christian beliefs (abortion, marriage etc). Thus bringing into play the structure of the government being secular.
Countless times I have heard Christians cite their lord as the place where our Rights come from not the Constitution. They believe that our laws where inspired by the bible. That our Government was designed around the bible. They are not just saying that we are a Christian Nation because there is a majority that describe themselves in a poll as Christian, they are claiming that everything that is America government and all
is Christian, therefor making this a Christian Nation. They deny the Separation of Church and state claiming that everything that the government does must stand up to Christian principles.
Trying to claim that Christians only claim that our
nation is Christian is intellectually dishonest.
"So let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God." Gary north
Gary North - Ron Paul curriculum[edit]

In addition, North offers the Ron Paul Curriculum, a home school online curriculum associated with former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, which is free for grades K-5 and available to paid members from grades 6–12.[15][16] As Director of Curriculum Development, North has outlined four goals of the educational project: providing a "detailed study" of the "history of liberty"; teaching a "thorough understanding of Austrian economics"; serving as a "an academically rigorous curriculum that is tied to primary source" material rather than textbooks; and teaching "the Biblical principle of self-government and personal responsibility", which North calls "the foundation of the market economy".[17] Gary North (economist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
