Is America a Christian nation?
Gregory Boyd wrote a book about The Myth of the Christian Nation published by Zondervan.
The Christian Right is not the only main Christian religious/political power in America. The Christian Right only describes 12.6% of the U.S. population. The rest of the U.S. population is divided in 11 other groups, with most groups being Christian. Here is analysis of the twelve major political religious voting blocs in America, known as the 12 Tribes of American politics. Please read the article about The Twelve Tribes of American Politics.
Most of these Christians voted based on the Christian culture wedge issues of abortion and gay marriage. Only the "Religious Left" and secularists substantially valued the issue of violence and poverty at the ballot boxes.
Based on a Pew Forum study, evangelical Christians are the most nationalist group of Christians in America.
The U.S. population as a whole trusts military leaders more than religious leaders, politicians, journalists or businesspeople. 
Here is a World War II propaganda poster for Christians to join the Air Force. I have not seen posters like this up now, but now it a more covert mentality, especially with U.S. evangelicals more than any other group in America.
Christian nationalism, and nationalism in general, is most alive in evangelical Christian circles. I consider myself an evangelical Christian. Evangelical Christians are some of the most active church-goers in America. There is much work to be done to reform evangelical Christianity to serve the Prince of Peace who nonviolently died on the cross as an example of the path to reconciliation among all nations.
