    Also worth noting that the US is not and never has been a “Christian nation.” Not only did the Founding Fathers specifically separate church and state for that reason, but they also didn’t declare a national religion and enshrined religious freedom as well for that same reason. Plus, half of them were agnostic or atheists. Anybody who says we’re a “Christian nation” is just using religion as an excuse for bigotry.

    If God truly exists, he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows.

      I mean, the US has obviously become a “Christian” nation, it matters not if it was founded as one or not. Simply, like, look around.
