Then what is to be done about all these heathens and atheists and agnostics on this Christian land? Expel them? Burn them at the stake?

And then there's a little problem in the basic law of the land:

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Seems that the national government cannot declare this to be a Christian nation. And the interpreter of that basic law, the USSC, has held that it also applies to the individual states. It has also held the "free exercise thereof" means those heathens can practice their preferred religions and atheists and agnostics can practice none.
