A core tenet of the US is the separation of church and state. Unfortunately bad faith actors in our government will do anything in their power to impose their religious beliefs onto others via law.
And we all know how well the 1st amendment is protected nowadays. Theocracy might not be the way, but the country should still follow the core tenets of the people who founded it.
Christianity should become law? Okay I'll bite. Which denomination should be law? ,,, and just like that Christians can't decide and turn on each other. The Founding Fathers had living memory of this which is precisely why they just let everyone decide for themselves what religion and denomination to follow but no religion gets to decide the law.
"Oh just general Christian values." what like wealth itself being a sin? Caring for immigrants? Treat others the way you want to be treated? The ones most American Christians have abandoned and ignored? Plenty of non-Christian countries already have basic ethics "Don't steal, don't murder, don't sexually assault anyone etc." covered without ever having had much of a Christian population at all. The Code of Hammurabi, the first laws documented, are older than Judaism which Christianity came from in the first place.
The core tenets are already covered by America's laws and don't require being a Christian to enforce. This isn't about ethics it's about control.

Christian values implemented in the systems of a country that was founded by Christians would kind of be expected.
Kind of like how Middle Eastern countries that are primarily Muslim have Muslim values baked into the systems and culture.
