I'm constantly reading on this board, implied and otherwise, that we are not now, and never were a Christian nation.
Well, I won't debate that particular point simply because I have never seen a concise definition of ""CHRISTIAN NATION".
Be that as it may, I WILL most emphatically state that we were a nation that based our laws, morals, and trust on the one true God.
Now there's always a leftist who can find some isolated writing or recorded quote from one of the founders that "proves" he was not a Christian.
Again, be that as it may, the general consensus of the FF was (is) that we are a nation founded and modeled after a Christian pattern.
I would highly recommend the following book that draws from pre-modern history manuscripts, and thus have not been tainted by the liberal revisionism of the early "socialist" reformers of our educational system.
The Light And The Glory by Peter Marshall & David Manuel

Pg 356:
This is not to say this nation is perfect by any means, but we sure are nowhere near as evil as the left is so eager to portray us.
If you are as fed up as me about the denigration of our nation by those who hate us ( foreign AND domestic), this book is a ray of sunshine.

(IE: The French Revolution?)It is difficult for us, with ten generations of democracy behind us, to appreciate just how radical were the words of the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal." Never before in history had the world actually believed in the equality of man. that is why, beginning with the Mayflower Compact, a century and a half earlier,the American system of government under God had been so unique. Under God - that was the key. Democracy would be subsequently tried n many places through the next two centuries, but only in nations where the one true God was worshiped would it succeed. For the study of man's history shows that equality, without the unifying hand of Almighty God, inevitably breeds chaos and anarchy.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that DDE's quote has come to pass - we, as a nation, are looking to politics to save us & it just ain't gonna happen!Many hoped that electing a Christian President would do the job. But as Dwight Eisenhower once said, "Never let yourself be persuaded that any one Great Man any one leader, is necessary to the salvation of America. When America consists of one leader and 158 million followers, it will no longer be America. It is the most dangerous kind of cooperate self delusion to think that a President, regardless of how much he heeds God, can reverse the bent of the national will, once it is set in a certain direction. And when it becomes apparent that he cannot, he (and the Christianity he professes) will become the next scapegoat.
This is not to say this nation is perfect by any means, but we sure are nowhere near as evil as the left is so eager to portray us.
