Speaking today at Turning Point USA’s annual “AmericaFest” conference, Vice President J.D. Vance said, to great applause: “The only thing that has truly served as an anchor of the United States of America is that we have been, and by the grace of God we always will be, a Christian nation.”
WRONG!
I don't think JD believes this. He is pure ambition devoid of any deeply held values.

The net sifter says:
Yes, J.D. Vance changed religions; he converted from being an atheist/agnostic to Catholicism in 2019, after exploring faith during and after law school, influenced partly by his wife, Usha, though they raise their children Christian as a compromise in their interfaith marriage
He could be a cynical opportunist, or, he could be a true convert. Remember the 80s, when being a "born again Christian fundamentalist" was so fashionable? There is nothing worse than the zealotry of a convert. As he tolerates his wife being a Hindu, I lean toward "cynical opportunist"

He seems like a cynical opportunist in almost everything he does. Disgusting.

Yes, I just roll me eyes every time I hear/read that. We are NOT a Xian nation, never have been, and we even stated that in official documents. Specifically, the Treaty of Tripoli:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli#Ar...Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion...They stomp their feet, and scream to the rooftops, but it just ain't so. And never has been. They should really stop saying it because it just makes them look stupid (or, at least, ignorant of fact).

Better to be a Muslim nation like France or Germany hopefully will be one day.
Islam knows how to get the Smug Westerners in line.
And - use Liberals as their advocates.
