"City upon a hill" [1] is a Christian sentiment.
Given TX also wants to post "the ten commandments" (no note of which ten) [2], given the rather impressive dominionist [3] domination of the US courts at various levels [4], I don't see anything contrary to the "city upon a hill" at all. Unless we want to ague over sectarian differences, that is. The people in power today tend not to be Puritans.
