If it turned into a Christian state, how long do you suppose it would take for the different denominations to turn on each other for that sweet, sweet power?
are you ignoring history when you ask that question? This country has been a christian state for most of its history without anything like that happening.

It was founded as a Christian nation and they managed to get along pretty well.

Turn off NPR.
The Constitution doesn't mention "Christianity" or "God". Explain that if we're a "Christian" nation.

The Declaration of Independence mentions "Nature's God" but that's pretty vague. Seems a little bit heretical by modern Evangelical standards, actually. "NATURE??"

an argument can be made that the constitution is very pro religion. you can thus infer that this countries leadership was very pro christian since 99 percent of those who immigrated and settled here then were christian. looking for a word in the document does not cover it all

the establishment clause promotes religious freedom by not favoring one over the other. This part of the establishment clause is usually ignored by religious haters who are quick to promote the part that mentions seperation of church and state.

the free exercise clause protects the rights of the individuals to practice their religion as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others

You miss the point if you're expecting the leaders of a Christian Nationalist movement to be pious.

It's about wielding power.
in todays world the left bashes christianity for being too conservative while promoting the muslim community who's belief system is often way off the right chart.
