The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution contains no language identifying the United States as a Christian nation 1 9. The amendment text explicitly states that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof 5 14. Historical and legal analyses confirm the Constitution is a wholly secular document that excludes any mention of Christianity or Jesus Christ 1 9 12. The First Amendment was specifically ratified to ensure religious freedom and prevent the government from favoring any specific faith 2 11. While some legal scholars observe that the nation may exhibit Christian cultural dominance, they acknowledge the First Amendment itself contains no such religious declaration 3 15.
