A Christian Nation? Episodes

Was America founded as a Christian nation? Some say yes, some say no, and the real answer is more complex than you might think. Blake takes the reins as the leader of this series, discussing the role (or in some cases, perhaps, the lack thereof) of Christianity in the establishment of the colonies, the founding of the nation, and the early evolution of the United States.

In this series, we ask and answer these questions and more: Did the Founders "design" America as a Christian country? If the United States had an official church, which denominations would qualify as "Christian"? How would the official church function within civic life in matters of law, public policy, voting, and taxation? Would non-Christians be suppressed?

This is a study on the danger Christian Nationalism poses to the US, as well as a deeper look at pieces of our country's founding that are often overlooked, rewritten, or completely ignored to serve someone's agenda.
