"This nation, USA, one of the few nations in history to claim God in their founding documents, we talk about, in our Declaration of Independence, certain inalienable rights given to us by our creator. Every one of our coins, every one of our bills says "in god we trust". Now I want to you to think about something: this nation has had a profound effect on the world. before the USA came on the scene, for 100 years, 200 years, 1000 years, 3000 years, people did things the same way: crops ready, you put em on the cart, hooked up your mules, took them into town, sold the crop. Within 200 years of the advent of this nation, which believed in god, men were walking on the moon. Completely revolutionized and changed the world because a nation was willing to acknowledge god. "

Now wait just a minute. 
First of all, while the US got the man on the moon, godless commie Russia beat the US to space, twice.

But, the reason many people came to the Americas in the centuries before the USA was founded was to escape the oppressive, Christian, state religions in Europe at the time. For one example, in 1559, it had become illegal in England to not attend Church of England services. That's a big reason the Pilgrims eventually left England for the Americas - to escape state-enforced, Christian, religion.

How much more acknowledgement does god need from a country than to make it illegal to not worship him? But no, no space station for Queen Elizabeth.

And, come on, putting "endowed by our creator" in a declaration of independence (independence from, again, a Christian nation) is pretty weak tea compared to, say, The Spanish Inquisition. Making your country pure Catholic by driving away heretics and non-believers has to count as acknowledgement! Why didn't Ferdinand and Isabella get a space program out of that?

And why doesn't the Vatican have a moon base?

Plus, the first nation to officially declare itself to be Christian did so more than a millennium prior to the founding of the USA:

Armenia has its own church, the Armenian Apostolic Church, which most Armenians follow. It was founded in the 1st century AD, and in 301 AD became the first branch of Christianity to become a state religion.

What did Armenia do so wrong that god refused to give them astronauts?
