On our currency it is written, "In God We Trust". Our Constitution certainly allows for total freedom of religion. And no religion is favored over another. But that doesn't mean that the Founding fathers who wrote the Constitution were not influenced by their Christian values.

Anyway, I would not be in favor of making Christianity the national religion. But if that did happen, very little would change. Sharia Law is a different story. If that became the law of the land, your life as you know it would be turned upside down. You would lose all of your freedom. You would be forced to pray 5 times a day. You would be put to death for adultery, put to death for being gay, put to death for leaving Islam, and put to death for numerous other things. How can anyone possibly compare that to Christianity?
Very little would change?
First of all, i recommend you read about the founding fathers and your belief they were christian. And then look into why the whole founded on cheistian blah blah is a myth.
In god we trust, along with under god in the pledge, were added during the cold war. Most assuredly, not at our founding.
And then look at the laws u.s. evangelicals have fought to get passed in several african nations, in russia. And then look at things said after orlandos tragedy by u.s. pastors. Some supposed christians here decry sharia, while wanting the supposed christian version of it.
