Do we? I thought that Christians considered the Old Testament still valid...

"Christian America"? Exactly where in the Constitution did you read that definition? The US of A were never established as a Christian nation: the Founding Fathers were mostly Deists and Freemasons (have a look at a dollar bill: plenty of masonic imagery). The Treaty of Tripoli (1796) makes the independence between state and religion very clear:

ARTICLE 11.
As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,-as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Musselmen,-and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
