That's not what he means, and you know it.
America should not and will not go the way of a Christian theocracy, much to the dismay of millions of evangelicals, and nutjobs like Huckabee.

Demographically we are, and I have no problem with that.
Government-wise? F*** no.
Also, Treaty of Tripoli applies well here:

Quote
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Government should be separated from religion.
Religion is too arbitrary and open to interpretation to be installed into the government, especially given that the state backs everything its does by the barrel of a gun. Even if the beliefs and subsequent laws are arbitrary and contradictory.
Something tells me, from the many gay marriage debates, that if the government was a Christian theocracy gays would be executed.

america should be more secular.
Religion should be banned from public life, like walking around naked.

Doing that would violate the peoples freedom to exercise religion.
You are using the same contradictory logic like the last time each of your arguments was handed back to you on a silver platter.

No. Have any other terrible ideas?
And America is a "Christian nation" in the same way it is a "white nation".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donuts
"However, there is also archaeological evidence that the pastries were prepared by prehistoric Native Americans in southwestern USA"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagel
"The bagel was invented in Central Europe, possibly in Kraków as a 1610 document mentions beygls given as a gift to women in childbirth."
Those are some examples of "Truthiness" The best examples I could find with such short notice.
