    Most U.S. adults believe America’s founders intended the country to be a Christian nation, and many say they think it should be a Christian nation today, according to a new Pew Research Center survey designed to explore Americans’ views on the topic.

    Our school history classes are worthless.

      I’ve got kids in my family and they are very aware that America is not a Christian nation. It’s totally taught in California schools. The lack of memory in our adult pop is the issue imo.

        My daughter is also very aware. It pisses me off how much I have to supplement and/or correct what she learns in school about U.S. history.

          That’s a bummer. I think citizens like yourself are the reason we continually hold it together as a country :)
