Faith of Our Fathers Founders

I’d like to thank Larry Drown for sending this Newsweek article to me. I’ve got the magazine, but you can read it online here.

We spend a lot of time and energy arguing about whether or not there were any religious overtones to the founding of our nation. More and more Christians are making the mistake of thinking that our government has to keep “Christian language” in the pledges, displays, and speech content.

Personally, I’d rather see more people making political decisions because of their walk with God, and not just voting for someone because he or she has waved a cross or mentioned Christ.

This article should provide you with a sense of what role religion played in those early days of our nation’s birth.
