Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our nation was not founded on Christian values. It wasn't until Eisenhower's presidency that we added "under God" to the pledge of allegiance. In fact, most of our founding fathers were deists. Thomas Jefferson went as far as to create the Jefferson Bible taking out all miracles, supernatural occurrences, and any mention of Jesus as being divine.

To say that we were founded as a Christian nation is incorrect. It goes so much deeper than you realize. I don't fault you at all though. The church won't tell you about it because it's not beneficial for them. They would rather you gulp down their version of the story and stay in line. Coming from a seminary graduate who has deconstructed from a Christian nationalist view, which this is.

Ask the questions. Dig deep.
