The word “Christian” technically refers only to those who in repentance and faith cling to the righteousness of a crucified and risen Christ alone. The US was not built on this, and does not pretend in its Constitution to make this its foundation. It is a wider foundation of natural law and revealed law upon which we practice order and civility.

In homeschooling my children several years back, I learned again and again how much the many forefathers who indeed called themselves Christians relied on Godly priciples and their faith in God as they committed their lives and fortunes to the establishment of a Nation under God but not under the thumb of any religious organization. Many of these Christians were the framers of our Constitution and independence from the King of England.

Ungodly politicians were at work during this time also, just as they certainly have been until this day. The early Christian patriots wound up agreeing with politicians to a schizophrenic manner of government that eventually would produce a war between the States.

To deny this country was founded largely by people called Christians is a mistake and refutation of what actually happened.
