McCain: America Established as a Christian Nation

Transcript:

I would probably have to say yes that the constitution established the United States of America as a Christian Nation.

I think the number one issue that is in the selection - which people should make a selection of president of the United States, is will this person carry on in the Judeo-Christian principled tradition that has made this nation the greatest experiment in the history of mankind.

I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles that - that’s a decision that the American people would make, but personally, I prefer someone who I know has a solid grounding in my faith. I just feel that my faith is probably a better spiritual guidance. I just feel that that’s an important part of our qualifications to lead.

We welcome the poor, the tired, the huddled masses, and but when they come here, they shouldn’t - they know that they are in a nation founded on Christian principles.
