  • S01E06 The Ideas that Birthed a Nation

    • January 1, 2009

    Modern history teaches us that our founding fathers were atheists, agnostics, and deists, yet a closer look into history tells us a different story. America’s founders were united by their deeply held spiritual beliefs, and those beliefs directly impacted the formation of the new nation. Significantly, the Bible was the source of many of the unique ideas and unprecedented principles laid out in our founding documents, but today we are no longer taught these truths about our founding. Instead, we are taught a revisionist history in which religious faith is absent and God’s providential hand is ignored.
