Is The United States of America a Christian Country?

It's just fitting that, with the increasing violence happening in many parts of the country today, we can ask: Is the United States of America a Christian country? Or, does religiosity correlates with morality?
      In his Letter To a Christian Nation, neuroscientist Sam Harris says:

     "While political party affiliation in the United States is not a perfect indicator of religiosity, it is  no secret that the 'red (Republican) states' are primarily red due to the overwhelming political influence of conservative Christians. If there were strong correlation between Christian conservatism and societal health, we might expect to see some sign of it in red-state America. We don't. Of the twenty-five cities with the lowest rates of violent crime, 62 percent are in the 'blue' (Democrat) states, and 38 percent are in 'red' (Republican) states. Of the twenty-five most dangerous cities, 76 percent are in the red states, and 24 percent are in the blue states. In fact, three of the five most dangerous cities in the U.S. are in the pious state of Texas. The twelve states with the highest rates of burglary are red. Twenty-four of the twenty-nine states with the highest rates of theft are red. Of the twenty-two states with the highest rates of murder, seventeen are red."*

Note also that these colour conventions in America are exactly the opposite of those in Britain, where blue is the colour of the Conservative Party, and red, as in the rest of the world, is the colour traditionally associated with the political left.
