America has never been a Christian nation. It is a semantical, theological impossibility for a nation to be "Christian." A country can no more be a Christian nation than a car can be a Christian car.
A car's driver can be a Christian and the occupants can be Christians. The philosophy under which the car is driven can be based on Christian principles of kindness, responsibility and respect for authority. It may be driven only to church on Sundays. However – to be theologically accurate – a car cannot be a Christian car.
The car may have been built by an auto manufacturing corporation run on distinctly Christian principles. It can be maintained by an integrous Christian mechanic, and it may be ticketed by a diligent Christian parking enforcement officer. It can even be covered by Christian bumper stickers, which others may see and "honk if they love Jesus." However, a car is an apparatus of various manmade materials and has no place in eternity. It has no soul, so cannot be "Christian."
According to Evangelical Christianity, the New Testament Scriptures define what is "Christian." Individuals are Christians (Acts 11:26) – not cars, not pets, not nations.

Theology/faith issues aside...
His analogy is assbackwards and inside out to begin with.
A car may not be able to be a Christian Car but it can be a Honda or a Ford or two wheel drive or an automatic or a four door and so on and so forth.
But more importantly (and to the context of his article) he makes the absolutely critical mistake that is the hallmark of modern rightwing blindness and stupidity in regards to the civilization which is crumbling about them, in that he believes nations to be purely material rather than organic.
Nations, Mr. Bradley, are not cars.
A nation is the people who inhabit it. A nation is a race of people. A tribe. A family related by blood. An image of the collective generations of a single people defined to reflect the sentiments and inclinations that are native to their character, to their blood.
In short, America is White people from Europe (Just as Japan is Asian people from Asia). And if those people were Christian so to is their nation (the collective embodiment of their genes) Christian.
Replace the White people in America for any other people (or mix them with other races), irregardless of their religion, and America ceases to exist. For their is no such thing as a culturally or racially diverse nation.
Nations are racial incarnations of distinct groups of people, each with its own unique proclivity towards law, order and religion.
Racial diversity, on the other hand, is anarchy incarnate, and the desolation of whole civilizations.
