Christian nation
... by claiming that the U.S. is a "christian nation."
But what does it mean to say we are a Christian nation?
​
If it is just a description of the culture (as distinct from the religious beliefs), then it is arguably correct.

Re: Christian nation
I'll grant that fundies like to use the phrase as a way of gaining support for some sort of theocracy. But I think others use it in a more reasonable manner.
​
I'm more interested in exploring exactly what our laws would be like if they were based on the teaching of christ.
Fundies tend to follow the teaching of Paul, not the teaching of Jesus.
