Who Ever Said America is a Christian Nation is WRONG!
By Michael Lang on Oct 18, 2007 in RELIGION - OR LACK OF
I am amazed and at the same time appalled at how much the has succeeded in rewriting American history as part of its self-righteous propaganda campaign to force its religious beliefs on others.
Our first president, George Washington, never declared himself a Christian despite the Christian Right’s attempts to depict the Founding Fathers as pious Christians who would like the United States to be a Christian nation, with laws that favored them and their religion.
Not only is that Not True, it is extremely arrogant and ironic coming from a group led by a man who practiced and preached tolerance and humility.
The fact is that most of the Founding Fathers, early presidents, and patriots were Deist or Unitarians who rejected doctrines like the incarnation.
Thomas Jefferson dismissed the Trinity as “incomprehensible jargon” and was adamant about not establishing an official church in America and not mentioning God in the Constitution.
Simply defined, Deism rejects the divinity of Jesus and the absurdities of the Old and New Testaments. It also subscribes to the belief that God created the universe, set it in motion controlled by natural law, and then retired.
ideal played a major role in creating the principle of separation of church and state as expressed in the religious freedom clause of the Constitution’s First Amendment.
Currently there is an ongoing controversy in the United States over whether or not America was founded as a Christian nation based on Judeo-Christian beliefs.
