In which Christian nation was democracy forged?
To be fair we are not a democratic state, we are a democratic republic there is a big difference.

I honestly dont think we were founded on Christian ideals, while many of the founding fathers were Christian, the majority of the most notable founders seem to have been more Deistic than anything else. But it doesnt matter what the faith of the founding fathers truely was because they laid out in the constitution and bill of rights that our country is about giving everyone rights and that there would be no national religion. They agreed upon the country not being a Christian society and in the case of Madison and Jefferson imparticular they took great pride in religious freedom as so noted in the Virginia Statutes of Religious freedom and numerous other writings they worked on.
