As you may be aware, democracy is inherently not christian. God doesn't put things up for a vote. God doesn't care if there exists a supermajority in favor of wealth as a means of salvation. The church's structure is not democratic unless the church is progressive. To claim that america was founded on christian values ignores the fact that god is at best a benevolent dictator, not a president elected by the term.

America is NOT a christian nation. America pretends to be christian, but you only need to see a single homeless person to know that christianity in america is a matter of convenience rather than conviction.

The ten commandments have no place hanging in any public building aside from a museum. "Under god" in the pledge is wrong too. We are one nation, but we are not under god.
