that though the English phrase is not an untrue statement since it is referring to the federal government, a number of the founders described America as a Christian nation,[7]

is not neutral. It is a US right-wing christian website, and the author (Barton) is very probably biased towards Christian revisionism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.107.230.163 (talk) 07:44, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Probably biased" is an understatement. David Barton is a historical revisionist who is notorious for relentlessly pushing a Christian evangelical narrative of American history which has been completely rejected by real historians - his only supporters are conservative politicians and fundamentalist religious leaders. He is a crank who has no place in an article about American history, except maybe in a subsection explicitly labeling his opinions as revisionist.
