Perhaps not officially but more than 50% of its citizens claim to
adhere fervently to Christianity which in effect makes it a nation
of people claiming to follow the teachings of Emmanuel ben Yusuf,
but in fact acting in a completely disconnected fashion from their
avowed beliefs.

If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn’t
help the poor, either we’ve got to pretend that Jesus
was just as selfish as we are, or we’ve got to acknowledge
that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy
without condition, and then admit that we just don’t
want to do it.
