One Nation Under Many gods?

Devekut said:
The problem with the idea of the American government being Christian but society being plural is that this is a democracy, meaning that people are elected out of this pluralism. If the government is meant to represent the people then it is understandable that many of the people elected will come to practice religions besides Christianity, including Hinduism.

The idea of Christian government that allows for freedom of faith amongst its citizens works, arguably, under a monarchy where the government has traditionally been held to have represented the national religion. Its' a different case with a democracy.

You are wrong, the United States was established as a Republic, not a Democracy.

Do a study in this regard and you will see the importance that the founding fathers placed on the Christian Republic called the United States.

  • When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic. = Benjamin Franklin

    Outside Independence Hall when the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended, Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

    "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." - John Adams
 
Iregardless I stand by this. "One Nation under God" who is our Lord & Savior - Jesus Christ.
