Being a "Christian" doesn't make anyone a Christian anymore than
being, say, Islamic.  Most "Christians" are, uh, victims of
society rather then people who know the Lord.  Still, we've had
over 40 presidents who claimed to be Christian and I'll put any
of them up against any leader (of other countries) who claimed to
be atheist in terms of respect for the rights of others to live
peacefully and freely.
