I think that when it was founded it was by Christians.

It’s not even a question.

The US was founded as a Christian nation.

The secular left today does its usual gymnastics with revisionist ideas and excluding key facts, to play make belief otherwise.

What the US was NOT founded as, was any specific denomination. Our founding fathers were very aware of the conflict that is possible.

If you go back to the late 1700s, the idea of religious conflict/tension, even wars between Catholics and Protestants, the problems between the Catholics and Anglicans, was still very real. People did not even marry across these lines for the most part, that was taboo. Today people don’t even perceive this idea anymore.

European religious wars, a quick over view in an image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/i7iosltorzwdri2wub46jk3s7g0b9xh.png

No one in 1776 was ignorant to the fact that many had been slaughtered in these wars that had affected Germany, France, England, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy. Most of our founding fathers were very well read and educated.

The concept of separation between church and state has been “reinterpreted” in modern days to mean something entirely different than what what it originally meant or was intended for. It was so that we don’t tear ourselves apart and fight amongst each other.

For example, and this makes the spirit of the times and intent clear: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-6/

So you have the idea of oath of office (why would you have that if the US wasn’t Christian based?), BUT there is no test: “but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” Last sentence Article 4. Why no test? Because a test would mean specific ideas and concepts of how this Christian faith is interpreted now come into play.

Christian's who owned slaves?

Yep. In 1776. Would you rather have it been founded by Muslims who owned slaves? They did (and some still do) you know. Or by Hindus who owned slaves. The did as well. Or Buddhists who owned slaves. Or even Animist's in Africa who owned slaves and sold slaves.

In 1776, slavery was everywhere, practiced by virtually every culture. It was around that time that Christians began seeing that slavery was wrong. Before that, no one thought it was wrong. They just thought it was the way things were. It was Christian thought during the enlightenment that created the idea that slavery was wrong.

Plus, it could not have been founded, and so successful, if not based upon Judeo/Christian principles.

The repeated calls about “is US Cristian?” is by commie trash who want those who embrace the US culture to reject it — like they might reject the call to found a nation upon Sharia. It is the principles that matter, not what is at the altar.

Ameerica was founded on several concepts.
1) Facts, Truth are objective and not subjective.
2) Beliefs are subjective.
3) A person becomes a Christian or Jew, a Catholic or Baptist or Methodist by believing that way of describing reality.
This is a Judeo-Christian View. But it is not far from a Hindu or Bhuddist view from a societal perspective. Muslim and several lesser views are further from the Founders views.

Choose ye this day.

Joshua 24:15
King James Version

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

1st Kings 18:21
21st Century King James Version

21 And Elijah came unto all the people and said,
โ€œHow long halt ye between two opinions?

If the Lord be God, follow Him;
but if Baal, then follow him.โ€

And the people answered him not a word.

Matthew 10:34-38
King James Version

34 Think not that I am come to send Peace on Earth:
I came not to send Peace, but a Sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man’s foes shall be
they of his own household.

37 He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me:
and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross,
and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.

Luke 12:51-53
King James Version

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give Peace on Earth?
I tell you, Nay; but rather Division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be
five in one house divided,
three against two,
and two against three.

53 The father shall be divided against the son,
and the son against the father;
the mother against the daughter,
and the daughter against the mother;
the mother in law against her daughter in law,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Benjamin Franklin’s Address to the Federal Convention, 1787

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbKXEPxZfb8

Belief in Divine Governance: Franklin famously stated, “I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth — that God governs in the affairs of men.”

Reference to Scripture: He quoted Psalm 127, noting that “except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it,” warning that without divine aid, their new government would fail like the builders of Babel.

The Motion for Prayer: At 81 years old, Franklin formally moved that the convention begin holding daily prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven before conducting business.

I had always assumed that it was founded to be a Christian nation. There seemed to be many things to indicate that was the intention.Things have changed a lot, tho, & I wouldn’t say that the US isn’t a Christian nation today,but there are many things to indicate at least that it certainly is far from 100%.
