America's founding fathers never intended for there to be a separation of God and state. In our Declaration of Independence, our forefathers acknowledged God as Creator, as the God of all nature, and the giver of liberty and dignity to all. They recognized God as the Supreme Judge of the entire world, and relied on His providence and protection for this new nation they were forging. Looking at our historical origins, it is undeniable that we literally began as One Nation Under God. Note the words in our Declaration of Independence:



IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them............

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.........

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world........... And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.


That our nation's founders were almost universally practicing Christians is obvious from their own words:

  • "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." – George Washington

  • “It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.” – George Washington

  • “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable.” – George Washington

  • "We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions … upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves … according to the Ten Commandments of God” - James Madison

  • "We recognize no sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus." – John Adams and John Hancock

  • "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason, people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship.". - Patrick Henry

  • “I’ve lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: That God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We’ve been assured in the sacred writings that unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. I firmly believe this, and I also believe that without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.” BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Signer of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution

  • “To the kindly influence of Christianity we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness, which mankind now enjoys…Whenever the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown, our present republican forms of government – and all blessings which flow from them – must fall with them.” JEDEDIAH MORSE, Patriot and Educator, called “The Father of American Geography”


All along the way, these men who established this country expressed their faith in God, and requested His help and His blessings. This has also been true of every state that has joined the thirteen original colonies. As a matter of fact, every single one of the 50 states acknowledge God in their own state constitutions:

    • It is obvious that our founding fathers and subsequent generations acknowledged the Almighty God and His providence and blessings for our country. It has not been until the past 60 years or so that liberal socialists have decided to remove God from the equation; they have as their agenda the destruction of this great country. They have become tyrannical in their insistance that God not be mentioned, that religious images such as nativity scenes cannot even be displayed on public property, that there can be no prayer in public places, or the Ten Commandments, upon which our laws are based, cannot be displayed publicly.

    In view of this tyranny, it is way past time for WE THE PEOPLE to stand up and let our voices be heard. If we continue to kowtow to these godless liberals, this nation as we've known it will cease to exist. Instead, we are in danger of becoming an atheist nation like communist China or North Korea, where even the mention of God or the reading of a Bible may be punishable by death or imprisonment.

    If we continue to allow these godless bullies to ride rough-shod over all the values we hold dear, we would do well to heed the warning of another forefather:

    "Those people who will not be governed by God
    will be ruled by  tyrants." William Penn
