    I don’t believe an argument can realistically be made that the US is particularly Christian at all, as a government.

    Some conservatives use Christianity as a tool to get elected though.

    A Christian nation, for instance, would take care of their poor and welcome immigrants.

      It was an example. You are missing the point.

      The point is: if a state has in its base law a preference for one religion over another, it can never call itself secular. Even if they teach evolution in schools.

        It doesn’t, though. None of its laws are preferential or exclusive. What you linked above isn’t a law that restricts anyone.

        And if you’re curious, should a right-wing government there impose those laws, id wholeheartedly support reforms.
