There Is No Christian Nation

By Editor

A FEW weeks ago we made the statement that, if we compare any "Christian nation" with a heathen nation, it will be seen that the difference between them is only in the kind of sins committed, and not in the quantity or quality. An atheistic paper in the East notices this, and jumps to the conclusion that "Christianity is at best only changing the kind of sins heathens commit." We intimated nothing of the kind. The fact is, there is no such thing as a "Christian nation" on the earth, and never has been. In the so-called "Christian nations," Christians are in the minority. It is the lack of Christianity that makes them so much like the heathen nations.
