Can you please clarify what do you mean by "a Christian nation"?

This country was founded to get away from religious oppression. This country is meant to be where everyone is free to practice any religion or none. Religion of any kind should be no where near politics

Why don't you read your own alleged Declaration of Independence? Religious oppression be damned. Only WOKE-airheads fuss about oppression, in the richest, fattest least oppressive country ever invented.

QUOTE: "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

America was founded to get away from political oppression and from "religious" vs. "antireligious" liars such as yourself.

1. I would appreciate if you could answer my question above: "Can you please clarify what do you mean by "a Christian nation"?"

2. I agree with your statement "Religion of any kind should be no where near politics" - that's where my question to Chris comes from. Our government is now pushing militant wokesim religion down our throats, we should take it out of politics ASAP. Since we seem to agree on this - what do you think is the best way to get the woke religion out of politics?

You can't keep religion out of Politics. Politics is a religion for those who don't think that Moses was a reliable law giver or that God inspired him. Since they don't accept God as a Law Giver, they get Nancy Pelosi or AOC! Lucky Americans! We get tyrant-Trudeau, in Canada, because Pierre, his dad, was a pirouetting "god", who did medieval "BUST A MOVES" behind the Queen of England's back while giving Canada a Charter of Rights and Freedoms that you need a legal Ph.D. to even misinterpret!

Americans kept politics out of religion (not religion out of politics); with the first two clauses of the 1st amendment, which read, "Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; (or abridging free speech, a free press etc.); for a very long time. They made that amendment because Catholic Monarchs were making laws to defeat Protestants and Protestant Monarchs were making laws to defeat Catholic and other dissident Protestant sects in Europe.

So the U.S. founders made that amendment to keep Government Bodies [Legislative, Executive, Judicial and Administrative] away from being forced into adjudicating or deciding religious vs. anti-religious squabbles. They simply made it impossible to have any Branch of Government "decide" such squabbles since Congress "SHALL make NO LAW" to use as a judgment standard to decide between such quarrelers/squabblers.

But when civil rights LAW came in, with the M.L. King and J.F. Kennedy generation of Americans, then lawyers and Justices/Judges substituted "rights laws" for the previously forbidden NO LAWS concerning religion or its free exercise. Thus Americans started to litigate essentially "religious" questions, like should we be our brother's keepers, or at least pay support to the women and children our "brother" won't support? Thus the First Amendment was subverted under the guise of "rights" not religion. Inevitably you get "pleadings" to have the "right" to freedom FROM Religion --- when it's already an established fact that a majority of Americans are "free" of and from any religion --- except Woke Marxism, which is anti-religious and pro-everything that may be signified by any single letter of the alphabet and a multicolored flag.

After all, Aristotle never argued that man was a rational animal (which may have been Plato or other Greeks and certainly was the thesis of Renes Descartes). Aristotle clearly stated that "Anthropos/man is POLITICAL animal." or a "Zoon Politikon" in an English imitation of the sounds in/of his language. So when Americans were initially quite religious, they needed very few laws and much less government bureaucracy. Now that you, in many cases, don't believe in God, or do believe that some German lunatic "killed" God or another German lunatic thought that God was the opiate of the masses, politics is a wokester religion ---- and there is so much more of "government" than before, while getting weirder and weirder all the time. Never fear. Check your pronouns and pay your taxes. You're safe --- a senile Catholic pro-abortionist is your Chief Executive and he has got the nuclear codes --- somewhere [Now where did I leave those things. JILL!!!].

lets start with....Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

John Adams

- the 10 commandments have been the basis for a civilized society-Thank you Moses!

If there is not any moral basis for a civilized, merciful society, we will descend in to chaos. We will not survive when 1/2 of the country lives by the "rules" and is expected to support the other 1/2 that don't. Let's be clear....the "rules" that I am talking about are the outline for a moral society .

Christian Nationalism is the only religion being pushed. "Woke" is a boogeyman word the right uses for everything they don't agree with

"Christian Nationalism" is a bogeyman word the Left uses to engender fear in the uneducated (or miseducated) masses who have no understanding of the founding principles that produced the freest, most prosperous civilization the world has ever known. There is nothing inherently wrong with being either a Christian or a nationalist (though I prefer to use the term "patriot"). Those who fear the Christian or the nationalist do so, not because they are fearsome, but because they represent a worldview that recognizes a reality and a purpose superior to self.

"Woke" (presumably lazy-speak for "awakened") was coined by the Left to imply an affect of moral superiority for those who "cancel" their political opponents, burn down cities, smash and loot businesses, defund the police, promote deviant behavior, etc.

Patriot is the new code word for nazi. This country is none of those things I can tell you are too far in, but your grandchildren will wipe your name from the family books.

Patriot might be the new code for nazi in your dictionary but not for the rest of us. Patriotism means a deep love of country.

And funny you should mention grandchildren... You are aware of the declining population problem looming? People of the left are openly saying they are not having kids because of the environmental catastrophe that’s just around the corner, many more are too busy having fun on a selfish individualistic level rather than choosing the responsibilities of marriage and child rearing finally add in abortion and it might just be that the left is heading down an evolutionary dead end! For patriots and people of faith we have hope which is why we have kids and grandkids. The future looks bright to us!

I repeat my question - define Christian Nationalism. FYI - "Woke" is not a boogeyman - it's the transgressive idol worshipping pagan religion, worshipping self, feelings, sodomy, murder, destruction of family and society, lawlessness - in short - it's the opposite of 10 Commandments

Right! Since you WON'T define the word, then it isn't a word at all except one that "triggers" the so-called "right". Alert! More woke-ster denials. America is not Hungary. There, they have Christian nationalism. Then again, Christopher Rufo was recently interviewed by Rod Dreher [The Benedict Option] in HUNGARY of all places!
