Blake gets our discussion of the Second and Third Great Awakenings in the United States underway as he guides Marshall and Mike through the ancient Greek concepts of "mythos" and "logos" in this excerpt from Episode 305 ("The Awakenings") of the United States of Amnesia podcast's series "A Christian Nation?", which explores the idea advocated by some Americans that the United States was founded as a Christian country.
The United States of Amnesia is a long-format podcast exploring the lessons we’ve forgotten, misunderstood, or never learned. Over time, history, politics, and religion have been distorted by bias, oversimplification, and myth. This podcast aims to cut through the fog, reconnecting past and present to help us think more clearly about the world we’re in and the one we're heading toward. Join us as we delve into the great struggle of humanity: to reconcile who we were with who we are becoming.
Want to learn about the history you have forgotten — or never knew? We post new episodes every other Wednesday and begin a new series every few weeks. You can listen on our YouTube channel at @USAAmnesia, at our website at https://www.usofamnesia.com, or wherever you get your podcasts. We also post YouTube Shorts highlighting brief segments of our episodes to give you a taste of what you will find in our podcast.
