Is America Still A Christian Nation?
Is America a Christian nation? It was certainly founded by people who believed in God. Thomas Jefferson believed that God gave us life gave us liberty (Notes on the State of Virginia, 1781), and James Madison recognized “the guardianship and guidance of that Almighty Being whose power regulates the destiny of nations” (First Inaugural Address, 1809).
Even the United States Supreme Court has answered the question in the affirmative. In 1892, Justice David J. Brewer stated that “this is a Christian nation” (Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States). Sixty years later, Justice William O. Douglas repeated that theme: “We are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being” (Zorach v. Clauson, 1952). Christians and atheists alike can argue whether the Supreme Court’s rulings support those statements, but it has never retracted them.
Does our religious heritage continue today? President George W. Bush appears to believe so. He recently declared, “From its earliest days, the United States has been a Nation of faith” (Presidential Proclamation, July 27, 2006).
