This thread is full of cope. The truth is the US was never founded as a Christian nation, never intended to be. And you'll have to start a ... oh wait they're already resorted to that, a culture war to push for violence.
The truth tho always comes out with you lot, every, time. You start off strong and then end willy nilly lack of arguments and if we kept going, name calling and labeling will ensue.
This isn't my first rodeo. More weasels smoked out.

You haven't provided anything. Nothing. You just accused me of not reading the declaration of independence and the federalist papers. None of which mention Christianity.
You're lying. The political system in the US isn't Christian.
This is goal post moving at its finest.
I am still waiting for anyone to post anything that would take away a Constitutional Right based on Project 2025.

Stop. Lying.
To me, and yourself.
You spend all day here making arguments for arguments sake like a paid shill. And I'm beginning to think the velocity of your posting habits is a little strange.
The USA was not founded as a Christian nation. It doesn't matter how many goal posts you move or mental gymnastics you try to perform, it isn't a Christian nation. The president doesn't swear an oath to Jesus, the Supreme Court doesn't base their decisions off what's written in the Bible, congress or the senate doesn't follow Christian doctrine.
State laws can't be theocratic. It's not a Christian nation.

And as someone pointed out Christianity is on the decline because of the founders framing of the political system. Hence why Christian nationalism is on the rise, it's threatened.
They feel because the settlers were Christian of some sort, and a politically set secular nation is doing what it was intended to do they need to push the culture war.
Christianity is the most prevalent religion in the United States. Estimates from 2021 suggest that of the entire U.S. population (332 million) about 63% is Christian (210 million).[1] The majority of Christian Americans are Protestant Christians (140 million; 42%), though there are also significant numbers of American Roman Catholics (70 million; 21%) and other Christian denominations such as Latter Day Saints, Eastern Orthodox Christians and Oriental Orthodox Christians, and Jehovah's Witnesses (about 13 million in total; 4%).[2] The United States has the largest Christian population in the world and, more specifically, the largest Protestant population in the world, with nearly 210 million Christians and, as of 2021, over 140 million people affiliated with Protestant churches, although other countries have higher percentages of Christians among their populations. The Public Religion Research Institute's "2020 Census of American Religion", carried out between 2014 and 2020, showed that 70% of Americans identified as Christian during this seven-year interval.[3] In a 2020 survey by the Pew Research Center, 65% of adults in the United States identified themselves as Christians.[4] They were 75% in 2015,[5][6] 70.6% in 2014,[7] 78% in 2012,[8] 81.6% in 2001,[9] and 85% in 1990. About 62% of those polled claim to be members of a church congregation.
Christianity was introduced to the Americas during European settlement beginning in the 16th and 17th centuries. Immigration further increased Christian numbers. Going forward from its foundation, the United States has been called a Protestant nation by a variety of sources

You know, funny thing, "God" isn't mentioned anywhere in the Bill of Rights, or the US Constitution.
The U.S. Constitution does not mention God, except for the phrase "the year of our Lord" in Article VII. However, the Declaration of Independence does mention God three times, using the terms "Nature's God," "Creator," and "Divine Providence". God also appears in the Pledge of Allegiance and on U.S. currency.
