Many Evangelicals hold a widely-held American belief that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, citing the Christian faith of early immigrants and the biblical principles embedded in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They argue that statements from founders like George Washington, John Adams, and others demonstrate a belief in God or the Bible, supporting their view of America as a Christian nation from its inception. However, the argument is challenged by the perspective that God's sovereignty over all nations, as seen in the words of Moses and Paul, does not necessarily designate America as uniquely Christian, even if settled by Israelites, since being Israelite does not guarantee being Christian. The Founding Fathers' intent, as reflected in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, encouraged the teaching of religion, morality, and knowledge in schools for good government and happiness, but did not establish a specific Christian denomination as a national religion. Despite this, the collective conduct of the nation reveals that the United States has never been a Christian nation, as national works and behaviors do not align with following Christ. The diversity of Christian denominations, with differing doctrines and practices, further illustrates a lack of unified adherence to Christ's example, showing that America cannot be considered a Christian nation based on conduct or belief. Evangelicals often blend religion with politics, supporting candidates and parties aligned with their religious views on issues like abortion and prayer in schools, which leads to a form of idolatry by confusing the Kingdom of God with worldly kingdoms. This belief in America as a Christian nation intensifies patriotism, assuming God is on America's side in causes and wars, yet historical divisions, such as during conflicts where Christians fought against each other, contradict this notion. The Bible reveals that the Kingdom of God and worldly kingdoms, including Israel, are spiritual enemies, and thus America, continuing Israel's historical rebellion against God, has never been a Christian nation despite sincere beliefs to the contrary.

Individual belief determines conduct, and centuries-long historical evidence of America as a nation, when compared to biblical truths, proves beyond a shadow of doubt that, despite all claims to the contrary by some, America is not and never has been a Christian nation. We do not act like Christians when we act on our beliefs, revealing a discrepancy between belief and conduct. When we compare American history with biblical truth, we see a people meshing the Kingdom of God with a patriotic love of country, creating a form of idolatry consisting of political ideals and agendas with religious overtones. America's Christians are showing by their works that they do not practice the faith once given to the saints because they do not believe what the saints believed. The conclusion on this basis alone proves that the United States of America is a kingdom of this world, and true Christians are commanded by our King Jesus Christ to come out of it. Therefore, one cannot assume that any nation, including our own despite its wonderful roots, has always or ever been aligned with God.

Pat Buchanan, in his book *The Death of the West*, argues that demographics indicate a steep decline in population and power for America and Europe over the next fifty years, as they are overtaken by Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and Hispanic peoples. He points to birth and death ratios, immigration statistics, and economic and political trends to support his assertion that the West is in decline. Additionally, he expresses concern over the diminishing presence of the Christian religion, particularly in America, highlighting this as a significant factor in the broader cultural and societal downturn.

In exploring the identity of America as a Christian nation, it becomes evident that this topic intertwines with the broader narrative of God's faithfulness and the historical journey of the Israelitish people. America, in the end time, hosts the largest and most active members of what is named the Christian church, raising the question of whether it was founded as a Christian nation and remains so today. The first wave of emigrants from Europe during the Protestant Reformation period established a spiritual foundation, believing sincerely in their Christian identity within newly forming Protestant groups. A subsequent larger wave sought wealth and personal liberties, and their descendants played a key role in forming the early governments of the colonies, eventually leading the nation to independence from England. However, the assertion of America as a Christian nation faces challenges when examining historical conduct and unity. Despite claims by some, national conduct reveals that the United States has never truly been a Christian nation. The settlers, though religiously fervent, were not united in one faith but divided across dozens of spiritual concepts, lacking a common Christian source for religious guidance. This disunity persisted even among the Founding Fathers, who, while seemingly more religiously oriented than current leaders, were not united in a singular Christian voice. The Evangelicals argue that the nation was founded as a Christian nation, pointing to the Christian faith of early settlers and the biblical principles inferred in foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Yet, this argument weakens under scrutiny, as there is no consistent pattern of obedience to God as a nation, even from ancient Israel, and the religious turmoil in Europe during the emigration period further undermines claims of a unified Christian foundation. Additionally, the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, influential in shaping the Constitution, encouraged religion, morality, and knowledge as necessary for good government and human happiness, reflecting Christian-type thinking of the time. However, the broad encouragement lacks specificity, and the founders' diverse convictions, as seen in George Washington's farewell address, highlight a lack of agreement on religious matters. Ultimately, the mixed systems and divided minds of the founders, claiming their versions as God's, stand in contrast to the sovereignty of God, who will not share governance with such disunity. Thus, it is clear that the United States of America was not, from its inception, a Christian nation.
