▶ Was the United States founded as a nation for Christians, or as a nation based on full and free religious liberty, freedom of conscience?

It matters. If the idea is, "Hey, this nation is for Christians, but you other people can live here," that's a very different construct from a nation founded on ultimate respect for freedom of conscience.

My view is that the Framers desired that our nation would be one where citizens grounded their morality and laws in religious truth, but they, ultimately, valued freedom of conscience supremely.
