When were found clearly on Christian principles. The freedom of worship allows for people of any belief system to continue. I lived in a Muslim country (jordan) where christianity is legal but not the state recognized belief system. Majority of people were Muslim and it seemed fine for.the rest. I prefer a Christian paradigm since our majority are Christian here.
Which principles were we founded on that are unique to Christianity? I would be absolutely thrilled if you could list those for me. Because every time I have a conversation about this, I ask the same question and have yet to get an actual answer.
The principles we were founded on can be found, in some form, in most major religions. They can also be found in the writings of ancient Greek philosophers and in the Code of Hammurabi.
I could just as easily say that America is a polythiestic country, because we were founded on the same principles as those of ancient Greece.
But more importantly, when you think of the US being a Christian Nation, what do you think that means, practically speaking? Does it mean Christians get preferential treatment over others? Normally I would ask if it means that only Christians should be allowed to live here, but thankfully that was already made clear in your post that you don't believe that.
