You can have a Buddhists, Daoists, Confuscianists, Mohammedans, Pagans, Hindus, Sikhs, Voodoun, or any other as-yet-to-be-defined theoologies, such as Mormonism nation. But you cannot have a Christian nation because the Christian faith is founded upon an individual response to the Gospel, not legislated forcefully.

dear bibble,

Thanks for taking my statement, and amending it without reference to me, the author.

Those who penned the bible are not alive to yell at you, but I am, and I detest plagiarism.

So, in your statement:
“You can have a Buddhists, Daoists, Confuscianists, Mohammedans, Pagans, Hindus, Sikhs, Voodoun, or any other as-yet-to-be-defined theoologies, such as Mormonism nation. But you cannot have a Christian nation because the Christian faith is founded upon an individual response to the Gospel, not legislated forcefully.”

Are you attempting to define America as NOT being founded as a ‘Christian nation’, or not, which was the premise of the original poster?

I find the answer to be ‘yes’, starting with The Mayflower Compact, (which was a piece of legislation), and running all the way through all of the documents of state.
