As a kid growing up in the 1950’s there was no doubt the U.S. was a Christian nation. You would have to look long and hard to find someone who would state that it wasn’t, if you could find someone. We were taught in school that the founding father prayed and asked god for guidance. The ten commandants were on the door of the courthouse and the manger scene and more was on the city hall lawn come Christmas time. We even said the pledge of allegiance and had a prayer before class while I was in elementary school.
The debate on whether the United States is a Christian nation or not is a recent phenomenon. In a recent Gallup poll 77% of Americans said they were Christian.
In U.S., 77% Identify as Christian
I think with that many Christians in the U.S., that in itself should be enough to convince anyone the U.S. is a Christian nation. In my travels around the world, every country I have been to consider the U.S. a Christian nation. I would assume if you ask those from any other country the question, is the U.S. a Christian Nation and the response would be a resounding yes.
So the debate whether we are or aren’t a Christian Nation is among only a few here, inside this country. That debate has been long settled all over the world.
