Barack Obama has been quoted many times from his speech (28 June 2006) and from his website (http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaonFaith.pdf) regarding a "Christian America." For reference purposes I will give the quote again here.
“Given the increasing diversity of America's population, the dangers of sectarianism have never been greater. Whatever we once were, we are no longer just a Christian nation; we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.” - Barack Obama, Call to Renewal Keynote Address
Christianity is so deeply rooted in American history that to deny our Christian heritage is to deny history. A visit to Washington, D. C. will suffice to prove our Christian heritage just by the references to Scripture carved in the stone edifices of our nation's capital. Yet, there are many who seek to rip our history to shreds to pacify their intense hatred for all things that reference Jesus Christ. The world doesn't hate Muhammed or Buddha or the many gods of Hinduism. Matter of fact, if you wish to pray in the name of Allah or any other god at a government office you are free to do so. But you cannot pray in the name of Jesus Christ! Maybe it's because Jesus Christ is God, the Son; before Whom all men will stand in judgment.
In its ruling in 1892 regarding the accusation that the Church of the Holy Trinity in New York was violating a federal immigration statute the Court said:
"Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of The Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian...This is a religious people. This is historically true. From the discovery of this continent to the present hour, there is a single voice making this affirmation...we find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth... These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation." (http://supreme.justia.com/us/143/457/case.html)
The Supreme Court recognized what our government and educators reject: the United States of America was established as a Christian nation and continues to be so. Only Christianity guarantees true religious freedom. Islam categorizes any country without Islam as a country of war. Once Islam is forced unilaterally upon any country by the sword it is then categorized as a country of peace. There is no religious freedom in Islam, Hinduism or any other man-made religion. Only Biblical Christianity offers man a free choice.
Some may say, "Obama said we are no longer JUST a Christian nation..." To say the United States is no longer just a Christian nation is to deny its heritage and to deny its freedoms. If the United States is no longer just a Christian nation then it cannot guarantee the religious freedoms of those who seek its shores. Christianity, true Biblical Christianity that is founded on salvation in Jesus Christ alone and the authority of the Holy Scriptures alone recognizes and protects the free choice of man to accept or reject The One true God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the salvation He offers through God, the Son, Jesus Christ. It is because of that belief in the free will of man that the right of all citizens to worship or not to worship as they desire is guaranteed. When the USA ceases to be Christian it will cease to be free. Without true, Biblical Christianity the freedoms instilled by the Constitution can no longer be maintained and religious intolerance will ensue.
Let us rejoice that the United States of America is a Christian Nation! A nation that is founded upon the principles of Christianity and unashamedly stands before men and God as a nation of Christian heritage and Christian propagation.
The United States of America...a Christian nation. (Irregardless of what Obama says!)

Why won't they listen?
It is interesting that when we try to speak the truth to people they simply refuse to listen. I would challenge you to go to your place of employment and ask someone what they think about about Global Warming or about the Obama birth issue. Once they have shared the party line with you, speak the truth to them. You will immediately be categorized as a loony tune! If you try to speak about your faith in Christ you will receive even more ridicule. Why is that?
I was recently reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer. It is an interesting book that takes the reader to the heart of Hitler's regime. I would like to offer a quote from Mr. Shirer's book to possibly answer why people stare with incredulity when we try to speak the truth.
"No one who has not lived for years in a totalitarian land can possibly conceive how difficult it is to escape the dread consequences of a regime's calculated and incessant propaganda. Often in a German home or office or sometimes in a casual conversation with a stranger in a restaurant, a beer hall, a cafe, I would meet with the most outlandish assertions from seemingly educated and intelligent persons. It was obvious that they were parroting some piece of nonsense they had heard on the radio or read in the newspapers. Sometimes one was tempted to say as much, but on such occasions one was met with such a stare of incredulity, such a shock of silence, as if one had blasphemed the Almighty, that one realized how useless it was even to try to make contact with a mind which had become warped and for whom the facts of life had become what Hitler and Goebbels, with their cynical disregard for truth, said they were." (page 248, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer) Emphasis mine.
The next time you speak the truth and see the blank looks on the faces of those to whom you are talking, remember...they have been indoctrinated in the totalitarianism of the current news media. The news is no longer news. It is the propaganda put forth to sway public opinion in favor of those who wish to steal our freedoms for their power gain.
