While I do not doubt that America has historically been a nation of Christians, it is and never was a "Christian Nation." And that's an important distinction.

There's nothing like a few facts to counter a lame argument like Cavi's. However when have the religious ever let facts get in the way of their beliefs? Cavi's remaining paragraphs just made me laugh, at him. "I can't imagine how the first sub-atomic particle came into being so God must have done it" is the lamest excuse for thinking there is. If that is the best argument theists can come up with I can't imagine any reason to ever become a 'believer'. Additionally, has America really "historically been predominantly a Christian nation under God" ? I thought all the "under god" nonsense was only brought in in the 1950s" What evidence is there that America has historically been a predominately Christian country?
