Less than 10% of Americans are Christians, possibly less than 5%. If 80% were Christians this would be a Christian nation with Christians Laws, Christian schools, Christian media and Christian government and sodomy would still be punished and Obama would never have been elected.

Obviously, you're only counting True Christians®
You forgot to mention:
1. Those sappy, Italianate pictures of "Jesus" would be everywhere.
2. Christians and non-Christians alike would have to deal with sociopathic and/or strongarm "enforcers".
3. School science lab would consist of banging rocks together, trying to produce sparks.
Made-up imaginary statistic of the day award, hands down. Remember, we have this little constitution thingy that guarantees (sort of) freedom of religion, written by men who were nearly all Christians. It doesn't have any exception clauses for majority religion, so that "all-Christian, all the time" fantasy will have to wait until you found your own country, preferably far off-shore.

What particularly fabulous hue is the sky in your dimension, Mr. Anderson...?! [/Agent Smith]
I couldn't be bothered answering him, because I knew if I'd asked him to explain, his reply would have been similar to the first line of breakerslion's comment.
(In the same article he did also say "America was founded by Christians. You don't belong here," suggesting he wants at least 90% and possibly more than 95% of the population deported. Beat that, Donald.)
Stephen Anderson: "If 80% were Christians this would be a Christian nation with Christians Laws, Christian schools, Christian media and Christian government, sodomy (any sex other than missionary-position penile-vaginal intercourse without the use of brith control, including condoms, in the marital bed between a husband and his one and only wife) would still be punished and we would never have elected any president that's a nig"(DONNNG)
Literally none of what you have said is true.
The vast majority of Americans identify themselves as Christians of one stripe or another. You may disagree with their theology, but you don't get to decide who is or isn't the "right" brand of Xtian.
Even if the US were 99% Christian, the constitution would still require our laws and our government to be secular--no Christian public schools, and no religious test for office.
You seem to think that you don't have to share our country with other people. You're in for a very big disappointment.
I take a little solace in the idea that at least 60% of professed Christians must know church rule would be bad and un-American Constitutional wise.
From this site alone I can confidently state over 20% want a secular country, where all faiths and denominations can exist within the law. Many realize if Christianity was sanctioned as the only and official religion there WOULD be decades of 'Holy Wars'.
Fundies WANT decades of Holy Wars because they're stupid enough to think bravado wins over all. Bundys and Tea Party fools for example.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
