Well if the majority of attendees of a public school attend a synagogue, and read from the Torah, keep kosher, does that does that make their school a Jewish school?
Just because the majority acts one way does NOT mean that the entity itself is a defined by them.
The entity itself has a structure--in this case a constitution, that defines it, not because a large number of elected officials happen to fall into on particular demographic.
I think I know why you're so confused...
Nations are made up of people, and people make up the government. Pointing out how people's religious beliefs influence government is a perfect example of a nations religious beliefs, but insular policies of a government with regard to a nations religious convictions doesn't equal a secular nation.
I never meant you to think I was asserting that the US government was Christian, I asserted that the nation is...and the government is NOT the nation.
