[b]Most Republicans Support Declaring the United States a Christian Nation[/b]

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/09/21/most-republicans-support-declaring-the-united-states-a-christian-nation-00057736

From the article

[i]Christian nationalism, a belief that the United States was founded as a white, Christian nation and that there is no separation between church and state, is gaining steam on the right.

Most Republicans [b]Say Christian Nationalism Is Unconstitutional — But Still Support It[/b][/i]

Hopefully that will explain fully to the "why do you care?" crowd.[/quote]

It doesn't have to be "declared," OP. Anyone with any sense of history (you, perhaps?) knows that America was founded as on Judeo-Christian principles.[/quote]

No, this is untrue.  Evidence was presented earlier.

Please name those values and explain how they are uniquely judeo christian?  No one will answer that, because you can't.  But I would love you to try.[/quote]

You're kidding, right? Did you pass 8th grade history?

America was founded on the idea that individual rights come from God and not the state. That concept had never before been expressed, let alone implemented in a form of government. This is inherently the concept of Judeo/ Christian values - that we each, as individuals, are children of God and that we are created by Him.[/quote]

Thank you. [/quote]

Is that what they teach at the “Christian” schools?

No. Inalienable does not mean rights from any gods. LOL.

The US isn’t a Christian nation. Period.

But it says it right in the Declaration of Independence! "[i]We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by Go-....[/i]"  ummm... oops no it doesn't.

PS assuming your god is the creator is called "presuppositionalism" and it is the most common fallacy of all religion apologetics.  The Creator could be anything including a naturalistic process.  The DOI doesn't say which and neither can you or I.  Mr. Jefferson (a deist) and the other smart people who wrote it understood they did not know.[/quote]
