The US is not a proud christian nation, the constitution explicitly says it.

Oh. The rhetoric of some of their politicians gave me a different impression.

It's actually the Treaty of Tripoli that lays that out explicitly

I believe the Treaty of Tripoli reinforces the First Amendment and helps to clarity its intentions.

Fair enough. The fact that it was passed within 10 years of the constitution passing, unanimously by the US senate, helps that interpretation a lot too.
