Thistlethwaite: "Christian Nation" A Label That Disrespects God

The Reverend Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite, 11th President of Chicago Theological Seminary, writes in a Washington Post piece
The United States is not a “Christian nation” because the Christians who wrote our Constitution believed that the freedom of each individual’s conscience honored God more than coercion. All coercion gives you is disrespect of an infinite God.

These claims that America is a “Christian Nation” only show a contempt for God. God doesn’t need the help of political pundits for there to be faith.
