Actually it was quite clear.

If a person lives in a country where "this is a Christian nation" is
seldom if ever heard it doesn't apply to them and there is no reason for
them to even reply to this thread.

"This is a Christian nation" is frequently stated by certain groups in THIS
COUNTRY. This country being the USA. A good number of people in THIS
COUNTRY who frequent the newsgroups I posted this to would recognize which
country THIS COUNTRY referred to.

This was posted to the following newsgroups:
alt.politics.usa.constitution,alt.education,alt.atheism,alt.religion.christian,alt.politics.bush,alt.society.liberalism,misc.education

Which of those are not relevant?

Church state, church state separation especially in the past several
decades is very relevant in Con Law, education, politics, etc. It has
become a religious issue, a atheist issue, a conservative, moderate,
liberal issue. A republican, Independent Democrat issue.
It is an American issue.

Therefore, there isn't a single one of those groups that qualify as not
being relevant to the topic of the original post

I limit my posting to the limit that my ISP has set.

It has also played a significant role in helping me to expose the
plethora of radical Christian propaganda and lies that we find at
almost every media turn.
