You already have the best place in the world to be a christian in the United States. Nobody promised it would be perfect or wouldn't be a struggle to maintain religious freedom in the US, especially in a cultural environment we find ourselves in today.....fight for it if you really want it.

Building a christian nation far closer to what our country was than the it is today is hardly a theocracy. And secularization is hardly less abominable than you say a christian nation would be.

No, but a secular nation with freedom of religion, which we are today accepts and expects that a free people have differing interests that they can and do pursue. A christian nation would have policies on, say, the teaching of evolution, that would not allow differing interests.

There are so many other examples - just look at the number of different christian faiths.......which one would be the basis of this christian state?

If it would still be a secular state based on christian values, why seek a separate state?

No, it would very quickly become an abomination despite legitimate and true intentions of some of the folks who would form such a hypothetical nation.
