It’s very clear to me, as one who has studied our nation’s history, that our founding fathers did want America to be a Christian nation. Indeed, the word “religion,” as in freedom of religion,” meant the different denominations of Christianity–back in the day.
It’s true that some of the founding fathers were theists–not Christians. Thomas Jefferson was perhaps the foremost of these. But look at all the things he did to promote Christianity. The most common way values are transmitted is through religion. I believe that the goal of our founding fathers was that our nation would have Christian values rooted in its culture.
On this Christmas day, I hope we get those values back. Merry Christmas to all.
