This does not describe a Christian nation. Note that there never has been a Christian nation, just empires that use Christianity to maintain power and accumulate wealth. The story of Israel in the Old Testament is a story of the idolatry of God as fusion of the state (empire) and religion, which lead Israel into exile in Babylon, and then upon return ultimately lead to the destruction of the second temple and Jerusalem. The idolatry lead to the crucifixion of Jesus, the anointed.

The good news of Jesus, summarized in the phrase the "kingdom of God," is that people do not need the idol, because God seeks relationship with us, through Christ. Yet, far too many Christians prefer to worship the idol rather than the real thing, and thus continue missing the mark, and are unwhole, imperfect, and continue chasing peace by violence (Pax Romana).
#Jesus taught that it is not that which goes in to the body that defiles, but it is what comes out, by which I understand to mean how we treat each other. Take this teaching forward to how Jesus responded to whether one ought to pay taxes to Caesar, the often translated "render onto Caesar what is Casesar's" and I get the message that it matters less what the laws of the state or empire say and it matters more about how I love my neighbor, which is how I love God.
