Was America founded as a Christian nation or conceived as a secular state?

Pundits on radio and TV, lawyers in courtrooms, and teachers and students in classrooms all debate this question. Secularists claim there is no evidence for America’s Christian roots and deny the evidence presented. Most Americans, however, still believe that our nation owes its existence and its prosperity to our founder’s allegiance to Christianity and its teachings.
