Someone on Xitter asked what I am sure they thought was a very pointed and convicting question: "Why wouldn't a #Christian want to have a Christian nation?"
However, a "Christian nation" could mean a great many different things to different people.
It could mean a nation that is made up of people who are dominantly Christians, and therefore its laws and customs generally tend to reflect Christian values.
It could mean a nation that is entirely ruled by church officers of a particular denomination, and there is no distinction between Church censure and state executive or judicial action.
Or it could mean any permutation in-between. The disagreement among Christians is rarely about whether they want a Christian nation, but about what that should look like and how we ought to work toward it.
