I cite in my book countless examples of the foundational documents of the colonial period in America and the writings of the leaders, that this was intended to be a Christian nation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The founding document of the United States of America acknowledges the Lordship of Jesus Christ because we are a Christian nation.
America should function as a Christian nation.
Are we a Christian nation now? It's doubtful. But did we start out as one? Without question.
I think that America is a nation of faith. I do believe that. Certainly by way of heritage - there's a powerful Christian thread through all of American history.
You simply cannot continue a nation as America without that Christian base of liberty.
Colonialism subdues in many dulcet guises. It conquered under the pretext of spreading Christianity, civilization, law and order, to make the world safe for democracy.
I don't know how you talk about the founding of America, and what became of the United States, without talking about religious doctrine.
One of the great strengths of the United States is... we have a very large Christian population - we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation. We consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values.
The role of citizens, of Christianity, of humanity, is to take care of each other, not for Washington to steal from those in the country and give to others in the country.
Sir, there is no Christian nation, thus free to choose as we are, which would establish slavery.
