The U.S. is explicitly a secular country. The founding fathers
made this very clear both in the constitution and in the letters
they wrote while they were drafting it. Look into the Federalist Papers
for a reference.

Likewise, look at the Treaty of Tripoli which was signed in 1796.

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense,
founded on the Christian religion ...

In short, while the U.S. may be a country primarily composed of
Christians, in no way is it a Christian country. They very idea was
offensive to the founding fathers and is contrary to the principles
upon which it was founded.

Principles not religion. There is a difference.
