Both and neither. "America" is a broad, vague, complex term that encompasses a large host of different cultures, politics, and social entities. Ultimately you really cannot apply such limited terms as "religious" and "secular" to such a broad term in any meaningful or accurate way, though either can be applied to a host of specific applications within the broader context of "America." That said, considering the drop in marriage rates, backlash against right-wing religious extremism, and declining church attendance.... I don't think that secularism is going anywhere anytime soon, nor religion for that matter. People have been decrying the rise and fall of religion and secularism for four hundred years now. Little has really changed in all that time, and both are still around hounding one another.
u.s. is an earthly united states of america. The Founding Fathers have been ordinarily Deists and Agnostics. Thomas Paine, the father of the yankee Revolution became into an Atheist. From the form - "Congress shall make no regulation respecting an enterprise of religion". There are forces interior the rustic, specifically, people who've hijacked the Republican party because of the fact the 1980's, that should want to work out u.s. grow to be a Theocracy.
The US is privately religious, but for the most part publicly secular. These two states do not need to be at odds with each other. There's no reason for the government to intrude on the free exercise of religion and there's no reason for religion to intrude on government.
AMERICA is a christian nation that allows people the freedom to believe what they wish. if your beliefs are different than christianity we don't jail you or harass you . the laws however are based on christian principals and this cannot be separated.

It's a secular country that is becoming more secular.

President Obama is a Christian who says he prays every day, has a Spiritual Advisor, and ends every speech with, "...and God Bless America"
American government has always been and should remain secular.
The American public as a whole is becoming less and less religious.
...I see us as being secular more than anything, and we should stay that way.
Religious. But the media,Hollywood & academia would have you think otherwise.
It has always been balanced between the two.
Then the ACLU came along and decided to "fix" things.
