Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation.

@Strandjunker Emo Philips has a long joke I don’t have the space to recite here but the general idea is that religion is schismatic and we get violent about it. Forcing the government to get violent about enforcing the religious schism of the minute is a well tested bad idea. https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2005/sep/29/comedy.religion
@Lyle @Strandjunker it really is one of the best jokes ever. I have repeatedly & without shame stolen it to make his point. I credit Emo

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.
Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
@Strandjunker I don’t mind christianity, but something has me worried about some of its followers.
In the few occasions I have discussed religion with a christian and I inform them that I’m an atheist, this question has popped up, in one way or another, multiple times:“If you don’t believe in heaven and hell, what’s keeping you from [insert violent crime here]?
Yeah, you should hang on to your religion and never question it.

@Strandjunker I know this is probably an Iranian bot account, WIRED reported on you previously. Still, it's good you're giving Americans something to believe in.

@Strandjunker Christian here (ELCA Lutheran, FWIW) and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

@Strandjunker Jesus Christ is love and love sets you free.

@Strandjunker "we"?
Your country isn't the only country in the world.

@kaito02 @Strandjunker yeah while i was reading the post i was like "huh this definitely applies to my country" then i reread it to realise no specific nation was even mentioned (none in their bio either)
perhaps they meant it in a more general sense? referring to society in general -

@Strandjunker You’re free to be a Christian, or anything else. Or none of the above.

@Strandjunker and if someone needs the rules from the bible to be a decent human being: please keep reading.

And "Christianity" is not a monolith, rather it has many - sometimes hostile - factions.
In fact, it's because of intra-Christian rivalries that America was explicitly founded without a religion.
(And yes, the colonies had other, non-Christian residents and *still* didn't even define a broad Christian mandate)
