(((doubt'n T))) - “Requests come from a broad spectrum of Iowans that reflect the broad diversity of Iowa.”

Total population 2,926,324

White 2,748,640 93.9%

Christian 77% (from Pew Research Center)
Unaffiliated 21%

Now THAT's ONE DIVERSE STATE right there, ya'll.

The state I'm in, SC, will probably think this is just a peachy idea. And do their own Christ-o-phile Rally.

I see the "Xian nation" argument almost every week in the local paper. A few God-botherers have actually glanced at the US Constitution for a few seconds, and know what it says.

So they've come up with an even more exciting interpretation of the First Amendment: "When it was written, the Founding Fathers and nearly everybody else were Xian. If they had known how it would be interpreted in the future, they would have written that this is a Xian nation."

So there you have it - Jefferson, Madison, Adams et. al. really MEANT to declare the U.S. a Christian nation. They just sort of forgot to put it in the Constitution. Buncha morons!
