The claim that the US is a "Christian nation" is false. Repeating a falsehood as many times as possible is a propaganda technique not a reporting technique. The US is a "secular country". There's a big difference between a Christian nation (like Sweden where everyone is born into the national church) and a secular nation that just happens to have a Christian majority. Probably the largest religious minority is agnostic for that matter not Christian. Also if you read the definition of "nation" it doesn't work for the US. We aren't united on any of the qualifiers. If the majority of the population were convert to some other religion, say Buddhism, no changes to the laws would be needed. If the majority of the population were to start speaking a different language, say Spanish, no changes to the laws would be needed. The idea that the US is united by a common culture is hilarious with even a tiny amount of travel. The form of the US government was selected to emulate the Roman Republic before the Christian era. Does no one read their history books in school any more? |
