The first amendment to the U.S. constitution in the Bill of Rights[avalon.law.yale.edu] prohibits the establishment of a state mandated religion, and Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli[avalon.law.yale.edu] states the following:

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 tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan 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.

It is not a specifically secular religion, but it is not a specifically religious nation either, and that means it does not pertain to religion in any particular way[webstersdictionary1828.com], and can therefore be called secular.

Cool.

The definition of 'secular' is 'no religion'. United states guaranteeing freedom of any religion is actually direct opposite of the word secular.

Ill give an example of a true secular nation and you explain to me how they are similar when it comes to religion: The Soviet Union.

My definitions:

Cambridge dictionary:

secular
adjective
uk /ˈsek.jə.lər/ us /ˈsek.jə.lɚ/
Add to word list
not having any connection with religion:

Oxford dictonary:

In the context of Oxford dictionaries, "secular" primarily means not connected with religion or spiritual matters.

United states is definitely connected with religious and spiritual matters according to these definitions. Even by your websters definition, United States is connected to religion in multiple ways.

I edited out an extra S i put in front of secular in the title, a typo. Other than that, i still have no clue what youre talking about. Cool story though..
It might not be explicitly so, but in reality, it is. It's pretty disgusting.

not really.

In the US, approximately 63% of adults identify as Christian, while about 29% are religiously unaffiliated, according to Pew Research Center. The religiously unaffiliated group includes atheists, agnostics, and those who identify as having no religion. There's also a smaller percentage, around 7%, who identify with non-Christian religions.

It would be wonderful to see all nations become secular.

Why? What is so bad about religion? Specifically Christianity, since 63 percent of americans identify as christians we can use this as an example.
