McCain Campaign Clarifies ‘Christian Nation' Remarks
in response to reader comment: McCain

These statements are petently untrue. The US is overwhelmingly Christian. Over 80%. That is like saying Iran is not a Musliim country because there a a few hundred thousands jews and Zoratrians. Does anyone doubt that IRAN is a Muslim country rather than a multi religious country?

The US WAS literally founded on Christian tenents. Have you ever read the constitution? Clearly not as it pretty much says it is founded on these principles. Get your facts straight. Although the country has a tenent of religious freedom, that is a Christian tenent..

Therefore these claims "The United States of America is literally NOT a Christian nation. It was literally NOT founded on Christian tenets. The United States of America was founded on a notion of religious freedom for EVERYONE, no matter what your religion, and that includes Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan, Satanist, Agnostic, Atheist, Zen Buddhist, Buddhist, Whatever, and Christian.

The U.S.A. is NOT a "Christian" nation and it is NOT founded on Christian tenets.?

Are false
