Freedom of Religion by Individual Choice

By Sarah Carpenter-Vascik

Book Overview

Synopsis: Lately, we hear more and more about how our Founding Fathers were all Christian, God-fearing men and America is a Christian Country. Conservative Ministers across the nation proclaim this in sermons and conservative politicians proclaim it at rallies and political events, but is our country really Christian? Was it intended to be? Did the men who founded America and drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights really set out to create a nation by and for Christians, or was our Fledgling country meant for people of all faiths and beliefs equally? This book attempts to answer these questions by examining the history and events that surrounded the Founding Fathers, and how this affected them. Only by hearing their own words can we really know what they envisioned as they expressed their ideas and opinions about the impact of religion when it's interwoven in politics and government. This work makes extensive use of letters and documents written by the Founding Fathers to reveal their personally expressed ideas and feelings about religion, ideas and feelings that may surprise you.
