We may be talking about a fine line here. Many different folks came to this country when it was an explicitly Christian nation. And while I understand the freedom of/from religion aspects of the debate, something needs to be stated explicitly from the gitgo so that Christianity does not come under attack from the new government.

As a matter of law, no one should lose their liberty for the religious beliefs, or lack thereof. But neither should faith be pushed out of the public square. It the Christian faith of the majority is "uncomfortable" to someone, then they should seek to live elsewhere. Maybe they would feel more comfortable in the United States of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The point is to allow personal faith and morals to support freedom. We can never get there through coercion.
