I was listening to a news program other night and I heard an alarming statement made by a “Reverend” who said that America was not founded as a Christian nation. I don’t know much about minister’s credentials other than what was flashed across screen. It seems he was a former employee of ACLU and was opposed to Christian emblems being placed on government property. He gave same old song and dance about “separation of church and state” (gag me) and need for America to sterilize her government agencies of Christian symbols. I was thinking about this absurdity this morning, and thought I would help set record straight. America was founded on Biblical principles and has been declared Christian by its institutions of law all way up to 1950s. Let me present some facts.

Fact: Terry Eastland, publisher of The Weekly Standard, has confirmed after his in-depth study of history of America. “Protestant Christianity has been our established religion in almost every sense of that phrase…The establishment of Protestant Christianity was one not only of law but also, and far more importantly, of culture. Protestant Christianity supplied nation with its ‘system of values.’” James Billington, Liberian of Congress, said in a news conference on opening of exhibit, “Religion and Founding of American Republic,” that “the dominant role religion played in earliest days of this country is largely ignored by media, academics, and others.”

What makes this story ironic is that Adolf Hitler’s premise in building a “master race” hinged on theory of eugenics – pseudo-science of improving human race through judicious breeding in same way stock-keepers hybridize animals and botanists hybridize plants. Historically, royalty has such a strong history of inbreeding, with its concomitant genetic defects, that Harry and rest of royals would be high on Hitler’s hit list.
