"America was founded as a Christian nation" always seemed to me like an attempt to reject America's founding philosophy (enlightenment liberalism), or to ignore the deists.
But this is a paradoxical subject.

Arguments for the existence of God typically use "God" as a placeholder, and avoid specifying who or what that God is.
This is kind of suspicious to me. It's like they push all the most interesting questions into a footnote, and just focus on establishing the conceptual category.

I really respect the kind of analytical, highly-differentiated thought you get in academics.
Except that, in a large number of cases, it seems clear people are not actually doing that, they're just hiding behind terminology.
