I thought references to this were in relation to the building of America. Even in Canada, it's evident that our society was built upon Judeo-Christian values.

Today, things have changed. We have essentially secularized our governments and commerce. Much of society has too, but you still have strong currents of the "Christian nation" sentiment, especially in the states.
