if republicans passed a law in congress declaring america a christian state, would that make it true?

would it withstand a court challenge?

i understand the underlying debate about jewishness v. democracy, and i understand that israel is going through a phase of racist nationalism. but, i have a hard time believing that this kind of anti-palestinian racism is easily abstracted to explicit support for jewishness, and everything that means.

israel is not a jewish state, but a modern secular society with some severe racial identity problems.

and, i suspect that this may backfire badly.


i don't see how a declaration of this sort would have any meaningful legal ramifications, either.
