Over the past several years, President Barack Obama has repeatedly claimed that America is not a Christian nation. He asserted that while a U. S. Senator, 1 repeated it as a presidential candidate, 2 and on a recent presidential trip to Turkey announced to the world that Americans “do not consider ourselves a Christian nation.” 3 (He made that announcement in Turkey because he said it was “a location he said he chose to send a clear message.” 4 ) Then preceding a subsequent trip to Egypt, he declared that America was “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world” 5 (even though the federal government’s own statistics show that less than one-percent of Americans are Muslims. 6
The President’s statements were publicized across the world but received little attention in the American media. Had they been carried here, the President might have been surprised to learn that nearly two-thirds of Americans currently consider America to be a Christian nation 7 and therefore certainly might have taken exception with his remarks. But regardless of what today’s Americans might think, it is unquestionable that four previous centuries of American leaders would definitely take umbrage with the President’s statements.
Modern claims that America is not a Christian nation are rarely
noticed or refuted today because of the nation’s widespread lack of knowledge
about America’s history and foundation. To help provide the missing historical
knowledge necessary to combat today’s post-modern revisionism, presented below
will be some statements by previous presidents, legislatures, and courts (as
well as by current national Jewish spokesmen) about America being a Christian
nation. These declarations from all three branches of government are
representative of scores of others and therefore comprise only the proverbial
“tip of the iceberg.”Read More By Clicking Here!
