self identification is common in polls.
Example:
Nancy Pelosi thinks she is a devout catholic and favors abortion
The Catholic Bishops think she is not a catholic because of her rejection of the church principles. |
Hence my request to define "Christian nation". It doesn't surprise me to see that most Americans think of the U.S. as a Christian nation. But I think most of them are either just parroting what they've heard, or think that the term means "most inhabitants are (really, call themselves) Christians". That may be a useful concept, but I think some use the term more to mean "founded on Christian principles", which is what I've heard from pulpits a number of times.
