American and Therefore Christian?

I grew up thinking that because I was an American that I was a Christian. Had it not been for my coworker, Howard Wall, I might still think that. The phrase “God and Country” may be good for the country, any country, but it is not good for the Gospel; when the Gospel and church cannot be distinguished from the country, any country…then the Gospel cannot be distinguished, in other words, people don’t really know what it is; they can’t identify it apart from society.
