The United States of America is not a Christian nation. It is a melting pot of numerous religions and peoples from around the world who came here with the idea, amongst other things, for religious freedom — not just religious freedom for Christians, but for all religions.

The common language recognized by America is the English language; why then do we pay millions of dollars for different ballots, for voting in American elections, for numerous other languages? It is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
