Hoo boy!  You sure got that right!

I love the twits who say the US "is a Christian nation!"
You patiently walk them through the facts, show 'em that while they might
have thought so, it's not really true.
You remind them that we have lots of non-Christian citizens.
You remind them that a lot of these non-Christians gave a lot for the
development of this land.
You remind them that many a non-Christian gave their lives for this fair
land.
They have no response and glare with veiled eyes of death.

And tomorrow, they shout, "The United States is a Christian Nation!"
