Ok I’ll resist. Percent Christian in the US is now down to 70% and dropping rapidly according to Pew. In another 10 years we’ll thankfully be able to say this is not a Christian nation.

It never was (or at least was never intended to be).

There’s a difference between stating a statistical fact and making a claim of foundation. GP is talking about the stats, not making a statement about any kind of official establishment.

I imagine the 70% is an enormous embellishment to begin with, by those who are polled who claim to actively practice but really don't.

My parents were aghast when a cousin said they wouldn't baptize their new child.

Yet they hadn't gone to church in nearly twenty years.
