Two very different authors, one American on British, one conservative the other liberal with two very different perspectives on the foundation of the United States.

In both books, early America was colonized by zealous Christians who saw the new land as “The Promised Land” to which they were responsible to lay the foundation for. Over and over again in early American history, the arguments, battles, discrepancies between the colonists were based on Christian principles. In fact, Sir Walter Raleigh who was the first Governor over the Colonies was ousted in an uproar over his “immoral un-Christian ways”. The church of England presided over the Colonies for years and years and it was a mandatory act of practice to incorporate Christian beliefs with state-hood, laws, and governing. There was no governance erected in early America without the Christian-Judeo principals.

Queen Elizabeth is quoted as saying that the first colonization at Roanoke Island, VA failed due to “a lack of religion”.

I’m not sure you really know your American history if you don’t understand how Christianity really played a part.

I’d say right now at this time in history, we are far far from being Christian in any matter. It was a great foundation, but people have to uphold that foundation and the more liberal this country gets, the further we are from our roots.

Someone is trying to curry favor with James Dobson.
