You totally digressed man!

America is not a Christian country. The link and quote will guide you and you can as well Google "Is American a Christian Country"

https://www.au.org/resources/publications/is-america-a-christian-nation

Religious Right groups and their allies insist that the United States was designed to be officially Christian and that our laws should enforce the doctrines of (their version of) Christianity. Is this viewpoint accurate? Is there anything in the Constitution that gives special treatment or preference to Christianity? Did the founders of our government believe this or intend to create a government that gave special recognition to Christianity?

The answer to all of these questions is no. The U.S. Constitution is a wholly secular document. It contains no mention of Christianity or Jesus Christ. In fact, the Constitution refers to religion only twice in the First Amendment, which bars laws "respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," and in Article VI, which prohibits "religious tests" for public office. Both of these provisions are evidence that the country was not founded as officially Christian.

The Founding Fathers did not create a secular government because they disliked religion. Many were believers themselves. Yet they were well aware of the dangers of church-state union. They had studied and even seen first-hand the difficulties that church-state partnerships spawned in Europe. During the American colonial period, alliances between religion and government produced oppression and tyranny on our own shores.

This just shows Christianity is the only peaceful religion on earth.

In Britain, we allow you to run sharia.
In America, we make you run positions as far as you deserve it.
In Switzerland we let you work in our banks.
In France, we let you run legislation if you have the brains to.

In Nigeria, how many christians are in government. Especially takes laws directly from Aso rock? How many if not northern muslims all thru

In Saudi, how many churches are there?
In Kaduna, you kill our christian brothers, rape our sisters and claim your religion is a religion of peace.

In Iraq / Syria how many of our brothers did you kill to fulfil religion?

Don't make me mad you muslims. If we gave you a chance to run on seats, take it as a fair chance and shut up, and learn. No noise.

America was never and is not a Christian Nation, The U.S. Constitution is a wholly secular document. It contains no mention of Christianity or Jesus Christ. In fact, the Constitution refers to religion only twice in the First Amendment, which bars laws "respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," and in Article VI, which prohibits "religious tests" for public office. Both of these provisions are evidence that the country was not founded as officially Christian.

AMERICA may be a nation of believers, but when it comes to this country’s identity as a “Christian nation,” their beliefs are all over the map.

Separation of church and state. You also mentioned countries like England, Switzerland and France. What's the population of the True practicing Christians in these countries? Maybe between 10% to 15% yet you called them a Christian country even though over 75% of the population of these countries sees themselves as a non practicing Christian. History tells us the only time most of this countries actually practice Christianity as a religion by the majority of its citizens and also as a system by the government(which use to be same as the Church) is called the Dark Ages the time of the crusaders which is not that much different from what we have today as ISIS. History always repeats itself

Do you know that rational thinking surpasses all religious beliefs? If you do then you have successfully answered your questions. I think im a muslim today because i was born one. Mind you, I'm not a religion fanatic. I used to attend church programs when my Christian friends invite me. F*ck religion, your mind is the the greatest form of religion.

Go and solve the fights between Shia, alawites, Sunni, and stop imposing Islam on people and watch how you'd 'rule the world'

Go ask mohammed since he was the last prophet, why do you believe in Isa Masjid? Your religion is very confused. Sorry to be this blunt. A religion that kills for a god, isn't a religion, its a phenomenal misbehaviour.

I agree that rational thinking is superior to religious beliefs. However, it is a fact that the Hadith supports killing unbelievers. Therefore, if a Muslim kills an unbeliever how can you then say the killer is not a real Muslim?
