I hear this all of the time from many non-black conservatives. They say that America was founded as a Christian nation, and therefore, we must have laws that prioritize Christianity over all other ideologies.

America was ALSO founded as a nation for white men. In fact, the laws of our nation were explicitly written to prioritize white men over all other races and genders.

This idea that America as a nation was meant primarily to serve white men was constantly pushed and supported for over 100+ years up through the 1950s until the Civil Rights movements. It had HUGE political and cultural support from at least 25%-45% of Americans at various times in its history.

So I ask-- If you believe that America is a Christian nation, based on the intent of its origin, then do you also believe that America is a White Man's nation? If you don't, then please explain how the logic doesn't apply to both .

One of the first. But many non-black Americans don't like to highlight or honor that fact.

Yeah, but I bet many of the founders considered secularism simply to mean of being accepting of each of the Christian denominations.

You mean the slavers who worked and hunted their own at the behest of white owners? Yeah, I don't think black Americans honor them as good people, and specifically highlight them as bad people.

Native Americans didn't have to. They were already at war with Americans, and were being exterminated wholesale.

Okay. So for 20 years they tried a different tactic. Regardless, they were at war, and needed all of the bodies that they had. Plus, Native Americans were quite communistic in their ideology.
