Our nation has always been a nation of different ethnicities, religious persuasions etc. As a matter of fact...our founders wanted a nation based on LIBERTY of individual conscience and freedom of religion...not a "Christian nation".

True Christianity flurishes best where people are free.
While I agree that there is not a command for a Christian nation there are commands to make disciples and we are to apply scriptural principles to ALL areas of life....and that includes government. The Bible is comprehensive and so is the gospel.
