I couldn't come up with a good answer either. America was founded by a group that was predominantly Christian, and there are many Biblical values in the way the government was established. I think America has gotten far away from her roots.

IMHO, the debate whether or not Christmas is a religious holiday is becoming an excuse for small groups to throw sleet on everyone else's holiday. I couldn't figure out an answer because I think it really depends on how people choose to celebrate it. For the folks in my church, it's a highly religious time, and we make it a special time of worship. I'm sure that's not keeping kids from sitting on Santa Claus's lap down at the mall.
