For those who want "evidence" for a Christian nation, can I spin the question?
Is it wrong for a magistrate, along with the moral consensus of the people, to say, "We recognize the moral principles found in the Christian tradition to be the only true foundation of civil law." If it is wrong for him to say that, on what grounds? Merely responding, "Oh, but it doesn't say that in the Bible" is like saying Republicanism is wrong because the Bible doesn't prescribe that. You need a better argument.
I can agree with this Jacob. As long as it is not strecthed to the point of branding me or putting me in the pillory for hitching my wagon to ride to church if the place of meeting was far away, because that would be considered a breach of the Sabbath.

Because bad laws could be made does not negate the right for someone to make laws at all.
