Is America a Christian Nation? | Episode 47

A debate currently is raging in the United States over the principles of the country's founding. On one side are those who argue that the American system of government was established on Judeo-Christian principles by men who were predominantly Christian, or at least were profoundly influenced by Christianity. Opponents of this view argue that America is fundamentally flawed because it was founded on unjust practices such as slavery and the violent exploitation of indigenous people.

Dr. David K. Bernard offers his thoughts on whether America really is "one nation under God" as the Pledge of Allegiance affirms or a society built on a foundation of oppression and injustice.

If you are interested in exploring this question further, Dr. Bernard recommends the following resources: "Lincoln at Gettysburg" by Gary Wills (https://amzn.to/3u9z2Kn), "A New Birth of Freedom: Abraham Lincoln and the Coming of the Civil War" by Harry Jaffa (https://amzn.to/36zL7AE), and "If You Can Keep It: The Forgotten Promise of American Liberty" by Eric Metaxas (https://amzn.to/3wjEOfl).
