Exactly, I wholeheartedly agree. Probably 95% of Americans were Christian at its founding, but you cannot force people to the faith through legislation. The best way to preserve Christianity from a political perspective is for freedom of religion.

Maybe some people find comfort in thinking of America as a "Christian nation", thinking they'll be spared from God's judgment because they say "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, or because the Ten Commandments are posted in government buildings. The Jews of Jesus' day made a similar mistake.

The best way to preserve Christianity from a political perspective is for freedom of religion.

Laws guaranteeing "freedom of religion" have never been necessary for the gospel to be preached and for Christ's disciples to serve Him.

In the histories and letters that comprise the New Testament, where do read about freedom of religion? Or perhaps a better question is, where do we NOT find persecution, tribulation, affliction borne by Christians?
