"It's Official...USA No Longer a 'Christian Nation'"


4
 
"There is no attack on American Culture
more destructive and more historically dishonest than the secular Left's 
relentless effort to drive God 

out of America's public square
."
 -Newt Gingrich, 
Rediscovering God in America, p.6
 
One of the spectacular gifts that theGodThoughtWired! ministry affords me is an honest and real understanding of the varied cultural perspectives that are a part of today's 21st century reality.  And one thing's for sure:
 
The 21st Century is an...
AGE OF DELUSION.
 
"God will send upon them a deluding influence
so that they will believe what is false."
-2 Thessalonians 2:11
 
Consider the following responses to our current series, "It's Official...USA No Longer a 'Christian Nation.'"  Under the category of:
 
ARROGANT IGNORANCE:
 
"An odd title to your article, "It's Official...USA No Longer a Christian Nation".  When were we ever 
a Christian nation?  Yes, maybe the majority 
of citizens have been Christian but 
the founding fathers certainly were not."
 
"We have never been a Christian Nation." 
 
There is an ever-increasing group of "ignorant multitudes" who sincerely believe that "We have never been a Christian Nation." This perspective is so "historically illiterate" that it can only be attributed to "last days delusion."  Consider the following statements by some of our "Founding Fathers:"
 
"Providence has given our people the choice of their rulers.  It is the duty as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select
and prefer Christians for their rulers."
-John Jay, the original Chief Justice of the USA
(October 12, 1816.  The Correspondence & Public Papers of John Jay)
 
"This great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians-not on religion, but on  the gospel of Jesus Christ."
-Patrick Henry, 
America's Providential History, p.184.
 
"In this age there can be no substitute
 for Christianity...
That was the religion 
of the founders of the Republic, 

and they expected it to remain 
the religion of their descendents."
-United States House of Representatives 
Judiciary Committee, 1854
 
In fact, books have been written solely devoted to the preservation of the truth of the history of The United States of America as having been founded and established as a "Christian Nation."  The following are three such books (that I have read, studied, and wholeheartedly recommend):
 
1.  Rediscovering God in America, by Newt Gingrich, Thomas Nelson, 2006.
2.  One Nation Under God, by Dr. David C. Gibbs, Christian Law Association, 2005.
3.  Freedom Tide, by Chad Connelly.  Executive Books, 2002.
