“A volume of unofficial declarations”?

Notice that word, unofficial.

We are a Christian nation in the sense that a large percentage of Americans are Christian. But there is nothing official about it and the Constitution did not establish it. That is where McCain is wrong.
As liberals like to claim the SCOTUS determines what the Constitution says. The Supreme Court in Holy Trinity recognized the unoffical declarations stating that this country was a Christian nation. By recognizing this claim, the SCOTUS has declared that we are a Christian Nation. Since it the responsibility of SCOTUS to tell us poor folks what the Constitution and the Law of the Land mean, then unfortunately this is the law of the land.

Despite the word unofficial, the Court recognized the country as a Christian nation, please don't try to back track now. And it would seem again that McCain was right both grammatically and constitutionally.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
