USA is NOT a Christian Nation

I’ve heard for years that the United States of America is a “Christian nation” and that our laws are based on the Bible. Most recently this was said by ex-govenor of Alaska and Vice-President want to be Sarah Palin on Fox News while talking to Bill O’Reilly (video below).

So lets get to...
