Contrary to what Obama says, America is a Christian nation

Topics: Political News and commentaries

America is a country that includes many faiths and cultures, however, America is at its heart a Christian nation and has been from its founding. As Warner Todd Huston writes in his excellent piece at RedState, "What are we if NOT a Christian Nation?":

As President Obama engaged in his "America Stinks" tour of Europe this week he told audiences in Turkey that the U.S. is not a Christian nation. "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation," he said on April 6. This echoes his statement in 2007 when Obama told CBN, "whatever we once were, we're no longer just a Christian nation."

The subtle difference between those two statements just over a year apart is interesting. Candidate Obama seemed to admit that we might have "once" been a Christian nation but are no longer "just" a Christian nation. But, suddenly as president, he seems to be saying squarely that we "don't" consider ourselves Christian. Interesting that he seemed to feel obligated to mitigate as a candidate his now openly admitted belief that we just aren't a Christian nation.

In any case, it is obvious that this is Obama's way of ingratiating himself with Muslim audiences. But whatever his immediate goal, his sentiment is a popular one with Americans that sport left-wing, anti-religious ideology, people who look to Obama as their leader.
