The nation was founded by Christians, but was open to freedom of religion, but not freedom FROM religion. There's a difference between freedom of religion, where you can make your own choice, and freedom from religion, where there's a lack of religion at all.

If we are a Christian Nation, why do we love to start wars? I do not remember reading about Jesus starting any wars....

@Mlwtca "I would say what our Government believes doesn't matter."
Then it's obvious you don't understand the constitution or its purpose.
-
@Mlwtca "will always be" suggests you know something we definitely don't and have some excellent method for divining the future, please share it with us.

Considering at least 70% and traditionally around 85% of Americans consider themselves Christian I would say what our Government believes doesn't matter. It wouldn't matter if the entire Congress was Atheist. You still can't change the fact that 3/4 of Americans are Christians. America is,was,and will always be a Christian nation. I could care less what the founder fathers said or didn't say. Try living in reality.

@JayJayAbels The pledge is fine, as it was originally written, and it's been changed twice. The first was a subtraction of a word or phrase. The second was the addition of "Under God". It's worse to have it in than to have a pledge.
-
I wish we'd go back to the old motto (sigh) .
-
I'm not sure which is worse... having "Under god" in our pledge of allegiance or... having a pledge of allegiance in the first place.
Indoctrination is unwise, unhealthy and, IMO, unAmerican.

"I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life, I absenteed myself from Christian assemblies." Ben Franklin Letter to von Humboldt, " I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature. Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." T Jefferson

Wasn't "E Pluribus Unum" the motto between "Mind your Business" and "In God We Trust?"

@ChuckyJesus666 Not really. "We Are One" was on the back of the original "Mind Your Business" coins. This was the phrase replaced by the Latin version "E Pluribus Unum" (Of Many, One). E Pluribus Unum remains on a lot of the "In God We Trust" money, so it was not an intermediate of the two mottos. Different animal altogether.
