Many have claimed that the U.S. is a Christian nation. Historically, we have never truly lived up to that label with injustices persisting for hundreds of years oppressing various groups of people. We are certainly not a theocracy, but even our laws, policies, practices, and attitudes have proven to challenge any idea that this is a Christian nation. The prophet Micah and Jesus give us three characteristics that we must have individually and collectively that would reflect God's character back to God and project God's character out to others. This would bring us more in line with being a Christian nation.
