No, we are NOT a Christian nation. The majority does not define our country.

The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion. - From the Treaty of Tripoli, which was signed during the term of George Washington and ratified by Congress during the term of John Adams.

Sky, I didn't say you feel you can't do anything you want to do. I'm trying to express how an atheist can feel he is helping you, just as you feel it's helping someone to lead them to Christianity. In either position, it's wrong, and disrespects the other's beliefs.

Sharing a faith or a non-faith does not mean compelling others, nor does it mean pushing it. There's a difference.

An atheist isn't arguing with God, Goddess, Himself or Herself, if he doesn't believe in the being.
