Christianity in the United States Author:Daniel Dorchester You've been lied to. You probably knew that already. Your children are being lied to, but I bet they don't know it. For decades now Americans have been told that Christianity's role in the founding of this nation is at best minimal. One atheist put it this way: Our nation was founded not on Christian principles, but on Enlightenment ones. Nonsen... more »se! Where are her facts? She doesn't have any. American Vision has been in the business for 30 years of refuting the liars of history. The best way to do that is to marshal the evidence. Of course, they're counting on most Americans to never read any contrary evidence. But more Americans are learning the truth about America's Christian past, and it is driving liberals nuts! They can't hide from the truth any longer.
Deep in the recesses of long-forgotten dusty library shelves, you can find books that clobber the liars of history. Most of these books have been removed from library shelves. Today's Christian critics rarely, if ever, make mention of them. Of course they don't. They play the odds. They know that millions of Americans have never heard of these once prominent history books. Who's going to question a representative from the ACLU with Daniel Dorchester's nearly 800-page Christianity in the United States since there are few people who even know it exists?
Dorchester's massive study begins with the colonial era and continues through 1887. The author does something unique. Not only have the religious statistics of the churches been studied, but also the moral and social phenomena. . . . Liberals aren't opposed to private religious beliefs. What really bugs them is the social impact of religion, and in the case of Dorchester's book, it's the impact of Christianity on all of life that interests him. He also uncovers the seeds of skepticism, how once Christian institutions were lost. There are lessons here for our day.« less
