1. It was obviously the first one.

2. We aren't a free nation because of Jesus. THAT's grade A bullshit. Jesus didn't say "thou shalt giveth freedom of thou press and right to beareth armseth". Our laws aren't based on Christianity either. Most of the laws that agree with Christianity are common sense laws. Don't kill people, don't steal. Our laws could be contributed to the bible if all the sins(or even 50% of them) were against the law, like adultery for example and worshiping other God's. Probably the biggest sin(worshiping other God's over..God) is one of the main advantages America has to other nations.
