Huckabee's implicit admission that the US is NOT a Christian nation

Many have already pointed out how Mike Huckabee’s stated desire to amend the US Constitution so as to bring it into line with the Bible is an implicit admission that the Constitution is not a Christian document. Conservative Christians may rebut “Hey! The US is a Christian nation. It’s just not Christian enough, and that’s the problem that Huckabee wants to address by bringing the Constitution into line with the Bible”. Well, I guess it’ll have to be one hell of an amendment, given that God is not referenced in the Constitution and numerous precedents have already been set in opposition of injecting Christianity into the Consitution or American politics.

By the Books Comics presents an entertaining comic which reflects much of the confusion on the topic of whether or not America is an officially Christian nation.
