Historically speaking we have two foundations in America. The foundation of the 
government, and by extension, the nation, is religious only insofar that it 
recognizes the existance of a higher power, called God as a matter of 
convenience.

Culturally we do have a Christian base. A huge percentage of us can trace our 
lineage to the Mayflower, which, as you'll recall, had such a big religous 
stick of their collective butt that the British, a people famous for 
buttsticks, kicked them out. I forget the exact percentage, but I think it's in 
the 70s. At any rate we carry many traditions and cultural values to this day 
from the Pilgrims.

What this means is that, yes, we have a Christian stone or three in the 
foundation of this nation. That's a big difference from being 'built on 
Christianity'.
