Just How "Christian" Were the Founding Fathers?

from Mormon.ish

On this episode of Mormonish, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Professor Matthew Harris to discuss the question of whether America was originally founded as a Christian nation or a secular republic. Evangelicals would have you believe that God played a prominent role, while the nones may believe otherwise. This debate has resulted in a culture war over the narrative that shapes The United States today. Professor Harris helps us sift through the information to better understand the religious beliefs that informed the men who founded our country. The answer to this question might surprise you!This podcast was originally aired on February 16, 2024.
