Just curious. What do you all think about this?

I never read it, nor an expert on the issue, but sounds interesting. I would say that though not all the Founders were certainly actual regenerated Christians, and the US was not constituted to be a theocracy, yet precepts and principals do not come out of nowhere, and it was Christianity that this nation's precepts and principals flowed from, over anything else. And it certainly implicitly relied on Biblical religion in order to enable the republic that could be kept.

►STATISTICAL CORRELATIONS (chart comparing many aspects of 50 states)

► HARVARD LAWS OF 1642

► MASS GENERAL LAWS (PDF here: file of ancient laws against sexual crimes, now changed)

►HISTORICAL QUOTES IN CONTRAST (PDF here)

Thank you for relaying your thoughts. Books like this (which are uncommon, unfortunately) seem like they ought to be prime targets for home school families.

The U.S. Constitution, the Founding Fathers, and especially and in particular the ideas of Natural Law and that our Liberty does -NOT- come from government; Liberty comes from God.

Prime reasons to home school. It’s .T.H.E. reason to home school.

The government schools are experts at teaching youth to hate America. We see it every day go see the ICE riots for more evidence or the firey but peaceful BLM riots recently. Home school is the only shot we have at teaching youth to love America.
