#Christians need to clearly and simply lay out the principles of their brand of #Christianity before we should ever consider believing them that the #USA is a Christian Nation.

I'll go 1st, even though I am not a Christian:

The United States of America is a Christian Nation only if we ignore the 9 of 10 core principles of that religious faith.
Core Principles of Christianity:
1. Love God Above All Else: The primary commandment is to love the Lord with all one's heart, soul, mind, and strength.
2. Love Your Neighbor as Yourself: The second great commandment is to love all other people as one's self, which is the essence of all ethical teaching.
3. The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would want to be treated.
4. Forgiveness: Granting forgiveness to others who have caused harm, just as God has forgiven humanity.
5. Compassion and Mercy: Showing empathy for the suffering of others and taking action to help them, especially the poor and those in need.
6. Integrity and Honesty: Living a truthful life without deceit, maintaining consistency between one's principles and actions.
7. Humility: Esteeming others higher than oneself and avoiding pride and self-righteousness.
8. Justice and Righteousness: Striving for fairness, upholding human rights, and promoting the common good in society.
9. Stewardship: Responsibly managing God's gifts, including one's time, money, and the environment.
10. Sanctity of Life: Valuing all human life as a unique gift from God, from conception to natural death.
