To call the United States a Christian nation seems to ignore that disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. The term has been changed to refer to anyone who believes Jesus exists. During the first century the difference between followers of Jesus and followers of other things was obvious. Today many if not most people in the United States admit to having heard about Jesus and of that group some consider themselves followers. Today evangelism mostly concerns how to do church. As for this nation being a Christian nation it has never been a follower of Jesus.
Would God's people perform genocide on Native Americans, believe owning human beings is acceptable, kill innocent civilians under the guise of saving lives? No, Christian and the United States have nothing in common.
