nothing at all. Many people who are not Christian eat bacon.

However there is a reason why he thinks this. In the Old Testament it specifically tells Jews not to eat pork. Many Jewish people follow this tradition even today. The New Testament church ate ham on Easter as a symbol that they were free from the ceremonial laws of the Old Testament. I do not know the dating of this idea but again many Christians still follow the tradition of ham at Easter.

But that says nothing about what religion our nation is.
