Is the U.S. a Christian Nation? Not At All, and This Video Explains Why
July 22, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Is the United States a Christian Nation? Not in the way conservatives would like to think. We may be majority Christian, but our government is wisely secular. And that’s what the question is really getting at.

YouTuber Alex J. O’Connor (a.k.a. CosmicSkeptic) does a nice job running through the arguments conservatives use when they say the U.S. is a Christian Nation before swiftly rebutting all of them.

Can someone send this to pseudo-historian David Barton? And maybe all of Congress?
